EOD Regional Nodes
This input is used for staging
Notes
**Note 1:** **Regional nodes and nodes, NOS** * Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS, in this field. * Distant nodes are coded in EOD Mets. **Note 2:** **"Vocal cord paralysis" or "Superior vena cava syndrome"** * "Vocal cord paralysis," "superior vena cava syndrome," and "compression of the trachea or the esophagus" are classified as either direct extension from the primary tumor or mediastinal lymph node involvement * **Caused by direct extension of the primary tumor** * Code as primary tumor involvement (EOD Primary Tumor, code 650) * **Primary tumor is peripheral and clearly unrelated to vocal cord paralysis, SVC obstruction, or compression of the trachea, or the esophagus** * These manifestations are secondary to lymph node involvement; code as mediastinal lymph node involvement (EOD Lymph Nodes, code 400) * **Unable to determine if manifestations due to direct extension or mediastinal lymph node involvement** * Record as mediastinal lymph node involvement (EOD Lymph Nodes, code 400) **Note 3:** **Lymph nodes, NOS** * Code 800 if regional lymph nodes are involved, but there is no indication which ones are involved.Default
