Note 2: Superior and inferior mesenteric nodes are coded in CS Mets at DX. Mesenteric nodes, NOS are coded in CS Lymph Nodes.

* For CS Lymph Nodes codes 100-300 ONLY: when CS Lymph Nodes Eval is 0, 1, 5, or 9, the N category is assigned from the Lymph Nodes Clinical Evaluation AJCC 6 Table, using Regional Nodes Positive and CS Site-Specific Factor 2; when CS Lymph Nodes Eval is 2, 3, 6, 8, or not coded, the N category is determined from the Lymph Nodes Pathologic Evaluation 6 Table Also Used When CS Reg Nodes Eval is Not Coded using Regional Nodes Positive.
