Discussion The pathology report from a TURP identifies a 3-mm focus of adenocarcinoma. Answer For cases diagnosed 1998-2003, code the EOD-Size of Primary Tumor field to 003 [3 mm]. The rule that says to code a focus or foci of tumor as 001 was developed for use when no tumor size is given. History Last Updated 09/02/2008 Date Finalized |
