This belongs to the set of Collaborative Staging (CS) data items effective with 2004 diagnosis. The "CS Site-Specific Factor" items (1-6) are used to code additional site-specific information needed to derive TNM or AJCC stage, or to code prognostic factors that have an effect on stage or survival. Some site-specific information that was formerly recorded in "EOD-- Tumor Size" [780] (Breslow's Thickness for melanoma; HIV/AIDS status for lymphoma) is now also in "CS Site-Specific Factor" items. Many site-specific schemas do not use any of the Site-Specific Factors; other schemas use from 1 to all 6 of the factors... NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11
