Collaborative Stage

Collaborative Stage for TNM 7 - Revised 11/16/2009 [ Schema ]

CS Lymph Nodes

Note 1: Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS, in this field. Distant nodes are coded in the field Mets at DX.
Note 2: Code the size of the metastasis in the lymph node as documented in the pathology report to determine codes 100-300, 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 coded in CS Mets at DX.
Note 3: Regional nodes include bilateral and contralateral involvement of named nodes.
