If the only information is FIGO stage IV, leave T and N blank and see M **Note 2:** Regional nodes include bilateral and contralateral named nodes. **Note 3:** If the clinician says "adnexa palpated" but does not mention lymph nodes, assume lymph nodes are clinically negative (cN0). **Regional lymph nodes** Aortic Lateral (lumbar) Para-aortic Periaortic Iliac Common iliac External iliac Internal iliac (hypogastric): Obturator Inguinal Intra-abdominal Pelvic Subdiaphragmatic Retroperitoneal, NOSNAACCR Item
