Description
This data item describes the method used to assess involvement of Distant (mediastinal, scalene) nodes associated with certain female genital cancers.
Rationale
Method of assessment of distant nodal status is listed as a Registry Data Collection Variable in the AJCC GYN chapters. This data item was previously collected as Vagina, CS SSF# 7.
