Notes

**Note 1:** When both the Federation Internationale de Gynecologie et d'Obstetrique (FIGO) stage and regional lymph node detail are available, use the regional lymph node detail in preference to a statement of FIGO stage - see Registrar notes. * If the only information is FIGO IIIB, assign the appropriate stage and leave clinical T, N, and M blank. If the only information is FIGO stage IVB, leave T and N blank and see M **Note 2:** Code only regional nodes and nodes, NOS, in this field. Distant nodes are coded in M (distant metastasis). . **Note 3:** If either exploratory or definitive surgery is done with no mention of lymph nodes, assume nodes are negative. **Note 4:** If the clinician says "adnexa palpated" but does not mention lymph nodes, assume lymph nodes are not involved. **Regional lymph nodes** Iliac, NOS Common External Internal (hypogastric) Obturator Paracervical Parametrial Pelvic, NOS Sacral, NOS Lateral (laterosacral) Middle (promontorial) (Gerota's node) Presacral Uterosacral Regional lymph nodes, NOS Lymph nodes, NOS
