Notes

C020 Dorsal surface of tongue, NOS C021 Border of tongue (Tip) C022 Ventral surface of tongue, NOS C023 Anterior 2/3 of tongue, NOS C028 Overlapping lesion of tongue C029 Tongue, NOS **Note 1:** This schema is based on the UICC chapter *Lip and Oral Cavity,* pages 25-29. * Primary sites C023, C028 and C029 are not listed in this chapter of the UICC manual; however, they are 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 *Anterior 2/3 of Tongue, Tip, Border and Tongue, NOS* chapter on page 38 of the [SS2000 on-line manual](https://seer.cancer.gov/tools/ssm/ssm2000/SSSM2000-122012.pdf#page=38).
