Beginning with cases diagnosed January 1, 2004 and forward, the CCR requires the collection of Collaborative Staging (CS) data items necessary to derive AJCC T, N, M, Stage Group. See AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Seventh Edition (not available electronically).
When entering a stage summary code, be sure to include any letter used for the tumor, for example; 3A, 2C. If there is no letter, leave the second digit in the field blank.
