EOD Regional Nodes
This input is used for staging
Notes
**Note 1:** Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS, in this field. Distant nodes are coded in EOD Mets. **Note 2:** This schema has lymph node codes that are defined as “CLINICAL assessment only” or “PATHOLOGICAL assessment only.” + CLINICAL assessment only codes (100, 300) are used when there is a clinical work up only and there is no surgical resection of the primary tumor or site. This includes FNA, core biopsy, sentinel node biopsy, or lymph node excision + PATHOLOGICAL assessment only codes (200, 400, 500) are used when - Primary tumor or site surgically resected with - Any microscopic examination of regional lymph nodes. Includes - FNA, core biopsy, sentinel node biopsy or lymph node excision done during the clinical work up and/or - Lymph node dissection performed + Remaining codes (no designation of CLINICAL or PATHOLOGICAL only assessment) can be used based on clinical and/or pathological information **Note 3:** Involvement of inguinal, pelvic, or external iliac lymph nodes WITHOUT or unknown if previous scrotal or inguinal surgery prior to presentation of the testis tumor is coded in EOD Mets as distant lymph node involvement. **Note 4:** Regional lymph nodes include: Aortic, NOS - Lateral (lumbar) - Para-aortic - Periaortic - Preaortic - Retroaortic Pericaval, NOS - Interaortocaval - Paracaval - Precaval - Retrocaval Retroperitoneal below the diaphragm or NOS Spermatic vein Lymph nodes **WITH** previous scrotal or inguinal surgery - External iliac - Inguinal nodes, NOS + Deep, NOS + Node of Cloquet or Rosenmuller (highest deep inguinal) + Superficial (femoral) - PelvicDefault
