Description
Detailed site-specific codes for the pathologic nodes (N) as defined by the current AJCC 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.
Codes (in addition to those published in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual)
