description	To promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation, this profile is based on the base [FHIR Vital Signs Profile](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/observation-vitalsigns.html) and defines *additional* constraints on the Observation resource to represent vital signs observations. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases. This US Core profiles that are derived from this profile are listed below.	Records the dimensions of a tumor	Values Differ
