Distant nodes are coded in EOD Mets. **Note 2:** Regional nodes include bilateral and contralateral involvement of named nodes. **All sites** - Lateral aortic (lumbar) - Paracaval - Renal hilar - Retroperitoneal, NOS **Renal Pelvis** - Aortic (para-aortic, periaortic, NOS) **Ureter** - Iliac (common, external, NOS) - Internal (hypogastric) (obturator) - Pelvic, NOS - Periureteral **Note 3:** Code 800 if regional lymph nodes are involved, but there is no indication which ones are involved.
