Site-Specific Factor 5
Distance to Distal Edge of Tumor from Incisors
Notes
**Note 1:** The distance from the incisors to the distal edge of the tumor is collected in this Site-Specific Factor. The location of the tumor's distal edge within the esophagus may be described based on imaging, esophagoscopy, or surgical results. **Note 2:** Record the distance from the incisors to the distal edge of tumor to the nearest centimeter (cm). **Note 3:** Calculate the distance to the distal edge of tumor if the distance to the proximal edge and the length of the tumor is known.Default
