Notes

**Note 1**: For this site, code ALL lymph node involvement in this field. **Note 2**: When coding Regional Nodes Positive and Regional Nodes Examined, only include regional nodes. Do not include distant nodes coded in CS Lymph Nodes. If the only information available is for Lymph Nodes, NOS, coded as 300 in CS Lymph Nodes, assume these are regional nodes for coding Regional nodes Positive and Regional Nodes Examined.
