 CS Extension (Colon)

Note 1: Ignore intraluminal extension to adjacent segment(s) of colon/rectum or to the ileum from the cecum; codedepth of invasion or extracolonic spread as indicated.

Note 2: A tumor nodule in the pericolic adipose tissue of a primary carcinoma without histologic evidence of residual lymph node in the nodule is classified as a regional lymph node metastasis if the nodule has the form and smooth contour of a lymph node, or if the contour is not described. If the nodule has an irregular contour, it should be coded in CS Extension as code 45.

Note 3: Codes 60-80 are used for contiguous extension from the site of origin. Discontinuous involvement is coded in CS Mets at DX.
