EOD Regional Nodes
This input is used for staging
Notes
**Note 1:** Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS in this field. Distant notes are coded in EOD Mets. **Note 2:** Imaging studies often refer to involved nodes in the gastrohepatic ligament or at the gastrohepatic level for esophageal primaries. Code as left gastric nodes if there is no more specific information. **Note 3:** Code 800 if regional lymph nodes are involved, but there is no indication which ones are involved.Default
