WORDS TO THE WISE
RESOURCES AND TIPS FOR MISSISSIPPI'S ONCOLOGY DATA SPECIALISTS
TUMOR TIP - KIDNEY
Solid Tumor Rules-Kidney Note 4:
Transitional cell carcinoma rarely arises in the kidney C649. It usually arises in the renal pelvis C659. Only code a transitional cell carcinoma for kidney in the rare instance when pathology confirms the tumor originated in the kidney.
TUMOR TIP – COLON
Invasion into pericolonic/pericolorectal tissue can be either localized (code 1) or regional (code 2), depending on the primary site and whether it is peritonealized (fully or partially) or not. See Summary Stage-Colon notes 6 and 7 for full explanation.
TUMOR TIP - LIVER
For cases diagnosed 2023 and forward, use the new Solid Tumor Rules-Other Sites Table 9a for determining histology and primary site for liver and intrahepatic bile duct cancers. https://seer.cancer.gov/tools/solidtumor/current/STM_Other_Sites.pdf
