EOD Regional Nodes
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:** **Lymph node involvement rare** * Regional lymph node involvement is rare. * For this schema, if there is no mention of lymph node involvement clinically, assume that lymph nodes are negative. * Code unknown (999) only when there is no available information on the extent of the patient's disease * ***Example***: lab-only case is abstracted from a biopsy report and no clinical history is available. **Note 3:** **Lymph nodes, NOS** * Code 800 if regional lymph nodes are involved, but there is no indication which ones are involved.Code | Description | SS2018 N |
