SURGERY OF PRIMARY SITE

 

Code

Description

00

None; no cancer-directed surgery of primary site

10

Total removal of tumor or (single) ovary, NOS

11

 

Resection of ovary (wedge, subtotal, or partial) only, NOS; unknown if hysterectomy done

12

 

 

Without hysterectomy

13

 

 

With hysterectomy

14

 

Unilateral (salpingo ) oophorectomy; unknown if hysterectomy done

15

 

 

Without hysterectomy

16

 

 

With hysterectomy

20

Bilateral (salpingo ) oophorectomy; unknown if hysterectomy done

21

 

Without hysterectomy

22

 

With hysterectomy

30

Unilateral or bilateral (salpingo ) oophorectomy with omentectomy, NOS; partial or total; unknown if hysterectomy done

31

 

Without hysterectomy

32

 

With hysterectomy

60

Debulking; cytoreductive surgery, NOS

61

 

With colon (including appendix) and/or small intestine resection (not incidental)

62

 

With partial resection of urinary tract (not incidental)

63

 

Combination of 61 and 62

Note: Debulking is a partial removal of the tumor mass and can involve the removal of multiple organ sites. It may include removal of ovaries and/or the uterus (a hysterectomy). The pathology report may or may not identify ovarian tissue. A debulking is usually followed by another treatment modality such as chemotherapy.

70

Pelvic exenteration, NOS

71

 

Anterior

Note: Includes bladder, distal ureters, and genital organs with their ligamentous attachments and pelvic lymph nodes. The removal of pelvic lymph nodes is also coded under the data item Surgery of Other Regional Site(s), Distant Site(s), or Distant Lymph Node(s).

72

 

Posterior

Note: Includes rectum and rectosigmoid with ligamentous attachments and pelvic lymph nodes. The removal of pelvic lymph nodes is also coded under the data item Surgery of Other Regional Site(s), Distant Site(s), or Distant Lymph Node(s).

73

 

Total

Note: Includes removal of all pelvic contents and pelvic lymph nodes. The removal of pelvic lymph nodes is also coded under the data item Surgery of Other Regional Site(s), Distant Site(s), or Distant Lymph Node(s).

74

 

Extended

Note: Includes pelvic blood vessels or bony pelvis.

80

(Salpingo ) oophorectomy, NOS

90

Surgery, NOS

99

Unknown if cancer-directed surgery performed; death certificate only

 

SURGICAL MARGINS

For this site only, this field will describe the residual tumor burden after cancer-directed surgery.

 

Code

Description

0

No visible residual tumor

1

Visible residual tumor, NOS

2

 

Visible residual tumor, cumulative maximum of less than 1 cm

3

 

Visible residual tumor, cumulative maximum of at least 1 cm, not more than 2 cm

4

 

Visible residual tumor, cumulative maximum of more than 2 cm

8

No cancer-directed surgery of primary site

9

Unknown whether margins were involved or negative; death certificate only

 

SCOPE OF REGIONAL LYMPH NODE SURGERY

The regional lymph nodes are:

 

Code

Description

0

No regional lymph nodes removed

1

Regional lymph nodes removed, NOS

9

Unknown; not stated; death certificate only

 

NUMBER OF REGIONAL LYMPH NODES EXAMINED

 

Code

Description

00

No regional lymph nodes removed

01

One regional lymph node removed

02

Two regional lymph nodes removed

..

 

90

Ninety or more regional lymph nodes removed

95

No regional lymph nodes removed but aspiration of regional lymph nodes was performed

96

Regional lymph node removal documented as a sampling and number of lymph nodes unknown/not stated

97

Regional lymph node removal documented as dissection and number of lymph nodes unknown/not stated

98

Regional lymph nodes surgically removed but number of lymph nodes unknown/not stated and not documented as sampling or dissection

99

Unknown; not stated; death certificate only

 

SURGERY OF OTHER REGIONAL SITE(S), DISTANT SITE(S) OR DISTANT LYMPH NODE(S)

Do not code an incidental removal of the appendix. Incidental removal is when an organ is removed for a reason unrelated to the malignancy.
