TUMOR CODE 



This catalogue of tumors and tumor types is arranged in an order corresponding to tumor 

 classification based on the tissues from which they originated. Therefore, to recognize the continuity 

 and to follow the sequence of this particular list of tissue types of tumors, the eye must learn to 

 inspect the 4th, 5th, and 6th units of the symbols (Columns 21, 22, and 23), ignoring the other units. 

 The spaces left between units 3 and 4 and between uruts 6 and 7 have no other significance than to 

 make the part of the symbol designating tissue origins more easily distinguishable. The meaning of 

 the 2nd and 3rd units (Columns 19 and 20) will be found by reference to the special list of anatomical 

 items immediately following this list of tumors. The 7th and 8th units (Columns 24 and 25) are 

 explained in the Key.
