CS Lymph Nodes
Notes
**Note 1**: Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS, in this field. Distant nodes are coded in CS Mets at DX. **Note 2**: Bilateral nodes are considered regional nodes for tumors with bidirectional drainage to primary nodal basins, as shown on lymphoscintigraphy. Clinical assessment of bilateral regional nodal involvement is required for tumors where lymphoscintigraphy is not performed. **Note 3**: Contiguous or secondary nodal basins are the next nodal drainage basins beyond the primary nodal basins. Secondary basins are considered regional for AJCC staging but may be distant for Summary Stage. Use code 107 for involvement of nodes in secondary nodal basins not otherwise specified. **Note 4**: In transit metastasis is defined as a tumor distinct from the primary lesion and located either between the primary lesion and the draining regional lymph nodes or distal to the primary lesion. In transit metastasis is coded in the CS Lymph Nodes field. **Note 5**: Isolated tumor cells (ITCs) should be considered positive nodes. If only ITCs are present, defined as any tumor deposits in lymph nodes less than or equal to 0.2 mm, use code 010. **Note 6**: If the only information about lymph nodes is a statement of N1 involvement without a clinical or pathologic designation, use code 130.Code | Description | AJCC 7 N | TNM 6 N | Summary Stage 1977 N | Summary Stage 2000 N |
