Notes

C001 External lower lip (vermilion)
C004 Mucosa of lower lip
C006 Commissure of lip

Note 1: This schema is based on the UICC chapter Lip and Oral Cavity, pages 25-29.

  • Primary site C004 is not listed in this chapter of the UICC manual; however, it is included in this schema and TNM staged if appropriate histology criteria are met

Note 2: In addition to directly assigning TNM, Summary Stage 2000 (SS2000) must be captured. If directly assigning SS2000, use the Lip (Vermilion or Labial Mucosa) chapter on page 32 of the SS2000 on-line manual.
