Collaborative Stage

Collaborative Stage for TNM 7 - Revised 09/08/2009 [ Schema ]

CS Site-Specific Factor 7
Size of Metastasis in Lymph Nodes

Note: Code the size of the metastasis in the lymph node as documented in the pathology report, not the size of the lymph node itself. If the size of the metastasis is not documented, code the size of the involved lymph node itself as documented pathologically or clinically with pathology taking priority. Do not code the size of any node(s) coded in CS Mets at DX.
