Description
Records the surgical removal of distant lymph nodes or other tissue(s)/organ(s) beyond the primary site given at all facilities as part of the first course of treatment. This field is to be used for
    ROADS codes after the ROADS to
    FORDS conversion. It is also to be used to code Surgery Regional/Distant Sites at all facilities for all tumors diagnosed before January 1, 2003.

Rationale
The removal of non-primary tissue documents the extent of surgical treatment and is useful in evaluating the extent of metastatic involvement.
Codes (See the CoC ROADS Manual 1998 Supplement and the SEER Program Code Manual for site-specific codes.)
