* For CSLymph Nodes codes 050-300 ONLY: when CS Lymph Nodes Eval is 0, 1, 5, or 9, the N category for AJCC 6 staging is assigned as shown in the Lymph Nodes Clinical Evaluation AJCC 6 Table, using Regional Nodes Positive and CS Site-Specific Factor 2; when CS Regional Nodes Eval is 2, 3, 6, 8, or not coded, the N category for AJCC6 staging is assigned as shown in the Lymph Nodes Pathologic Evaluation AJCC 6 Table Also Used When CS Reg Nodes Eval Is Not Coded using Regional Nodes Positive.
