NAACCR XML: Tumor.ajccTnmPathNSuffix



Description

Detailed site-specific codes for the pathological N category suffix as defined by AJCC.
Clinical, pathological, and postneoadjuvant therapy stage data are given three separate areas in the NAACCR Data Exchange Record Layout.



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

        (sn) Sentinel node procedure without resection of nodal basin
        (f) FNA or core needle biopsy only
        Blank No suffix needed or appropriate; not recorded
