V.4.2 Collaborative Stage Data Collection System

The Collaborative Stage Data Collection System provides a single uniform set of codes and rules for coding extent of disease (EOD) and stage information to meet the needs of all of the participating standard setters. When CS data items are coded, a computer algorithm provides the derivation for T, N, M, and stage.
