Description
Detailed site-specific codes for the postneoadjuvant therapy nodes (N) as defined by AJCC 8th edition.
Rationale
CoC requires that AJCC TNM staging be used in its approved cancer programs. AJCC developed its staging system for evaluating trends in the treatment and control of cancer. This staging is used by physicians to estimate prognosis, to plan treatment, to evaluate new types of therapy, to analyze outcome, to design follow-up strategies, and to assess early detection results.
Identifies the absence or presence of regional lymph node (N) metastasis and describes the extent of lymph node metastasis of the tumor known known following the completion of neoadjuvant therapy (satisfying the definition for that disease site) and planned postneoadjuvant therapy surgical resection.
