Parotid Gland

CS Lymph Nodes (Revised: 10/13/2009) Note 1: For head and neck schemas, this field includes all lymph nodes defined as Levels I-VII and Other by

AJCC. The complete definitions are provided in the General Instructions.

Note 2: For head and neck schemas, additional information about lymph nodes (size of involved nodes,

extracapsular extension, levels involved, and location of involved nodes above or below the lower border of the

cricoid cartilage) is coded in Site-Specific Factors 1, 3-9.

Note 3: If laterality of lymph nodes is not specified, assume nodes are ipsilateral. Midline nodes are considered

ipsilateral.

Note 4: For head and neck cancers, if lymph nodes are described only as "supraclavicular", try to determine if they

are in Level IV (deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, in the lower jugular chain) or Level V (in the posterior

triangle, inferior to the transverse cervical artery) and code appropriately. If the specific level cannot be determined,

consider them as Level V nodes.

Note 5: The description of lymph nodes has been standardized across the head and neck schemas. All lymph node

levels and groups listed here are considered regional nodes for AJCC staging. Summary Stage 1977 and Summary

Stage 2000 divide these nodes into regional and distant groups.

Note 6: Submental and Cervical nodes NOS moved from code 100 in CSV1 to code 110, Facial and Deep cervical

nodes NOS moved from code 100 in CSV1 to code 120, Levels II, II, and IV nodes moved from code 110 in CSV1

to code 120.

Parotid Gland

CS Lymph Nodes Eval (Revised: 10/26/2009) Note 1: This field is used primarily to derive the staging basis for the N category in the TNM system. It records

how the code for the item "CS Lymph Nodes" was determined based on the diagnostic methods employed and their

intent.

Note 2: In the 7th edition of the AJCC manual, the clinical and pathologic classification rules for the N category were

changed to reflect current medical practice. The N is designated as clinical or pathologic based on the intent

(workup versus treatment) matching with the assessment of the T classification. When the intent is workup, the

staging basis is clinical, and when the intent is treatment, the staging basis is pathologic.

A. Microscopic assessment including biopsy of regional nodes or sentinel nodes if being performed as part of

the workup to choose the treatment plan, is therefore part of the clinical staging. When it is part of the workup, the

T category is clinical, and there has not been a resection of the primary site adequate for pathologic T classification

(which would be part of the treatment).

B. Microscopic assessment of regional nodes if being performed as part of the treatment is therefore part of the

pathologic staging. When it is part of the treatment, the T category is pathologic, and there has been a resection of

the primary site adequate for pathologic T classification (all part of the treatment).

Note 3: Microscopic assessment of the highest N category is always pathologic (code 3).

Note 4: If lymph node dissection is not performed after neoadjuvant therapy, use code 0 or 1.

Note 5: Only codes 5 and 6 are used if the node assessment is performed after neoadjuvant therapy.

CS Site-Specific Factor 2 OBSOLETE - Extracapsular Extension, Lymph Nodes for Head

and Neck (Revised: 12/30/2009) Note 1: This CS Site-Specific Factor is obsolete beginning with CS Version 2 (codes and notes). Old data are

retained, but new cases are not coded with this Factor. Use code 988 for this field.

Note 2: Code the status of extracapsular extension whether assessed clinically or pathologically of any involved

regional lymph node(s) coded in the CS Lymph Nodes field. Do not code extracapsular extension in any nodes

coded in CS Mets at DX in this field.

Note 3: A statement of the presence or absence of extracasular extension in a pathology report takes priority over

clinical assessment. However, if the pathology report contains no statement about extracapsular extension, either

positive or negative, the clinical assessment should be coded. If nodes are involved but there is neither a clinical

assessment of extranodal extension nor a statement about it in the pathology report, use code 999.

Note 4: According to AJCC (page 24), "Imaging studies showing amorphous speculated margins of involved nodes

or involvement of internodal fat resulting in loss of normal oval-to-round nodal shape strongly suggest extracapsular

(extranodal) tumor spread; however, pathologic examination is necessary for documentation of the extent of such

disease."

Note 5: CS Site-Specific Factor 2 is obsolete beginning with CS Version 2 (codes and notes). Old data are retained,

but new cases are not coded with this Factor. Use code 988 for this field.

CS Site-Specific Factor 7 Upper and Lower Cervical Node Levels (Revised: 03/30/2009) Note 1: AJCC requires that nodes be designated as involving upper or lower levels within the neck. The boundary

between upper and lower levels is the lower border of the cricoid cartilage.

Note 2: Nodes in Levels I, II, and III are upper level nodes. Nodes in Level IV and VII are lower level nodes.

Level VA nodes are upper level nodes, and Level VB are lower level nodes. Level VI nodes span both upper and

lower levels. Nodes included in "Other groups" (Facial, Parotid, Parapharyngeal, Retropharyngeal, Retroauricular,

and Suboccipital) are all upper level nodes.

Note 3: Code the location of nodal involvement in relation to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage of all

involved nodes, whether assessed clinically or pathologically, as stated by a physician.

Note 4: If there is no physician statement of upper and/or lower level nodal involvement, assign levels I, II, III, and

VA nodes to upper level. Assign level IV, VB, and VII to lower level. If Level V (A and B not specified) and/or

Level VI nodes are involved with no further information about location, use code 040.

Note 5: A description of "mid neck" requires clarification with the physician. Code 040, unknown level, if "mid

neck" is the only information available.

Code Description

000 No lymph nodes involved

010 Upper level lymph nodes involved (all involved nodes above the lower border of the cricoid cartilage)

CS Lymph Nodes (Revised: 09/01/2009) Note 1: For head and neck schemas, this field includes all lymph nodes defined as Levels I-VII and Other by

AJCC. The complete definitions are provided in the General Instructions.

Note 2: For head and neck schemas, additional information about lymph nodes (size of involved nodes,

extracapsular extension, levels involved, and location of involved nodes above or below the lower border of the

cricoid cartilage) is coded in Site-Specific Factors 1, 3-9.

Note 3: If laterality of lymph nodes is not specified, assume nodes are ipsilateral. Midline nodes are considered

ipsilateral.

Note 4: For head and neck cancers, if lymph nodes are described only as "supraclavicular", try to determine if they

are in Level IV (deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, in the lower jugular chain) or Level V (in the posterior

triangle, inferior to the transverse cervical artery) and code appropriately. If the specific level cannot be determined,

consider them as Level V nodes.

Note 5: The description of lymph nodes has been standardized across the head and neck schemas. All lymph node

levels and groups listed here are considered regional nodes for AJCC staging. Summary Stage 1977 and Summary

Stage 2000 divide these nodes into regional and distant groups.

CS Lymph Nodes Eval (Revised: 10/26/2009) Note 1: This field is used primarily to derive the staging basis for the N category in the TNM system. It records

how the code for the item "CS Lymph Nodes" was determined based on the diagnostic methods employed and their

intent.

Note 2: In the 7th edition of the AJCC manual, the clinical and pathologic classification rules for the N category were

changed to reflect current medical practice. The N is designated as clinical or pathologic based on the intent

(workup versus treatment) matching with the assessment of the T classification. When the intent is workup, the

staging basis is clinical, and when the intent is treatment, the staging basis is pathologic.

A. Microscopic assessment including biopsy of regional nodes or sentinel nodes if being performed as part of

the workup to choose the treatment plan, is therefore part of the clinical staging. When it is part of the workup, the

T category is clinical, and there has not been a resection of the primary site adequate for pathologic T classification

(which would be part of the treatment).

B. Microscopic assessment of regional nodes if being performed as part of the treatment is therefore part of the

pathologic staging. When it is part of the treatment, the T category is pathologic, and there has been a resection of

the primary site adequate for pathologic T classification (all part of the treatment).

Note 3: Microscopic assessment of the highest N category is always pathologic (code 3).

Note 4: If lymph node dissection is not performed after neoadjuvant therapy, use code 0 or 1.

Note 5: Only codes 5 and 6 are used if the node assessment is performed after neoadjuvant therapy.

CS Site-Specific Factor 2 OBSOLETE - Extracapsular Extension, Lymph Nodes for Head

retained, but new cases are not coded with this Factor. Use code 988 for this field.

Note 2: Code the status of extracapsular extension whether assessed clinically or pathologically of any involved

regional lymph node(s) coded in the CS Lymph Nodes field. Do not code extracapsular extension in any nodes

coded in CS Mets at DX in this field.

Note 3: A statement of the presence or absence of extracasular extension in a pathology report takes priority over

clinical assessment. However, if the pathology report contains no statement about extracapsular extension, either

positive or negative, the clinical assessment should be coded. If nodes are involved but there is neither a clinical

assessment of extranodal extension nor a statement about it in the pathology report, use code 999.

Note 4: According to AJCC (page 24), "Imaging studies showing amorphous speculated margins of involved nodes

or involvement of internodal fat resulting in loss of normal oval-to-round nodal shape strongly suggest extracapsular

(extranodal) tumor spread; however, pathologic examination is necessary for documentation of the extent of such

disease."

CS Site-Specific Factor 6 Parapharyngeal, Parotid, and Suboccipital/Retroauricular

Lymph Nodes, Lymph Nodes for Head and Neck (Revised: 08/25/2009) Note: Site-Specific Factors 3-6 are used to code the presence or absence of lymph node involvement in each of 7

different levels and other groups defined by AJCC. The definitions of the levels are the same for all applicable head

and neck sites. One digit is used to represent lymph nodes of a single level, with the three digits of Site-Specific

Factor 3 representing lymph nodes of, respectively, Levels I-III; the digits of Site-Specific Factor 4 representing

lymph nodes of Levels IV and V and the retropharyngeal nodes; the digits of Site-Specific Factor 5 representing

lymph nodes of Levels VI and VII and the facial nodes; and the digits of Site-Specific Factor 6 representing the

remaining Other groups as defined by AJCC. In each digit, a code 1 means Yes, the nodes are involved.

CS Site-Specific Factor 7 Upper and Lower Cervical Node Levels (Revised: 03/30/2009) Note 1: AJCC requires that nodes be designated as involving upper or lower levels within the neck. The boundary

between upper and lower levels is the lower border of the cricoid cartilage.

Note 2: Nodes in Levels I, II, and III are upper level nodes. Nodes in Level IV and VII are lower level nodes.

Level VA nodes are upper level nodes, and Level VB are lower level nodes. Level VI nodes span both upper and

lower levels. Nodes included in "Other groups" (Facial, Parotid, Parapharyngeal, Retropharyngeal, Retroauricular,

and Suboccipital) are all upper level nodes.

Note 3: Code the location of nodal involvement in relation to the lower border of the cricoid cartilage of all

involved nodes, whether assessed clinically or pathologically, as stated by a physician.

Note 4: If there is no physician statement of upper and/or lower level nodal involvement, assign levels I, II, III, and

VA nodes to upper level. Assign level IV, VB, and VII to lower level. If Level V (A and B not specified) and/or

Level VI nodes are involved with no further information about location, use code 040.

Note 5: A description of "mid neck" requires clarification with the physician. Code 040, unknown level, if "mid

neck" is the only information available.

Code Description

000 No lymph nodes involved

010 Upper level lymph nodes involved (all involved nodes above the lower border of the cricoid cartilage)

020 Lower level lymph nodes involved (all involved nodes below the lower border of the cricoid cartilage)

CS Site-Specific Factor 8 Extracapsular Extension Clinically, Lymph Nodes for Head and

Neck (Revised: 10/16/2009) Note 1: Code the status of extracapsular extension accessed clinically for any involved regional lymph node(s)

coded in the CS Lymph Nodes field. Do not code extracapsular extensio in any nodes coded in CS Mets at DX in

this field.

Note 2: If nodes are involved clinically, and documentation of physical examination or imaging is available

without a statement of extracapsular extension, use code 010.

Note 3: If the only documentation is a reference to clinically involved nodes with no reference to extracapsular

extension, use code 030.

Note 4: If there is no information about clinical assessment of nodes, use code 999.

Note 5: Clinical assessment can be by physical examination or imaging. According to AJCC, "ECS can be

diagnosed clinically by a matted mass of nodes adherent to overlying skin, adjacent soft tissue, or clinical evidence

of cranial nerve tissue. Radiologic signs of ECS include amorphous, spiculated margins of a metastatic node and

stranding of the perinodal soft tissue in previously untreated patients."

Code Description

000 No lymph nodes involved clinically

coded in the CS Lymph Nodes field. Do not code extracapsular extension in any nodes coded in CS Mets at DX in

this field.

Note 2: If nodes are involved pathologically but there is no statement of extranodal extension in the pathology

report, use code 010.

Note 3: Code "microscopic" or "macroscropic" extranodal extension as stated in the final diagnosis. If not stated in

the final diagnosis, code "microscopic" if extranodal extension is described only in the microscopic section of the

pathology report and "macroscopic" if extranodal extension is described in the gross section of the pathology report.

Note 4: "Macroscopic" extension takes priority over "microscopic" extension.

Note 5: Use code 040 if pathologic extracapsular extension is described with no further information and the

pathology report is not available for review.

Note 6: Use code 050 if nodes involved pathologically with no further information about extracapsular extension.

CS Lymph Nodes (Revised: 09/02/2009) Note 1: For head and neck schemas, this field includes all lymph nodes defined as Levels I-VII and Other by

AJCC. The complete definitions are provided in the General Instructions.

Note 2: For head and neck schemas, additional information about lymph nodes (size of involved nodes,

extracapsular extension, levels involved, and location of involved nodes above or below the lower border of the

cricoid cartilage) is coded in Site-Specific Factors 1, 3-9.

Note 3: If laterality of lymph nodes is not specified, assume nodes are ipsilateral. Midline nodes are considered

ipsilateral.

Note 4: For head and neck cancers, if lymph nodes are described only as "supraclavicular", try to determine if they

are in Level IV (deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, in the lower jugular chain) or Level V (in the posterior

triangle, inferior to the transverse cervical artery) and code appropriately. If the specific level cannot be determined,

consider them as Level V nodes.

Note 5: The description of lymph nodes has been standardized across the head and neck schemas. All lymph node

levels and groups listed here are considered regional nodes for AJCC staging. Summary Stage 1977 and Summary

Stage 2000 divide these nodes into regional and distant groups.

CS Lymph Nodes Eval (Revised: 10/26/2009) Note 1: This field is used primarily to derive the staging basis for the N category in the TNM system. It records

how the code for the item "CS Lymph Nodes" was determined based on the diagnostic methods employed and their

intent.

Note 2: In the 7th edition of the AJCC manual, the clinical and pathologic classification rules for the N category were

changed to reflect current medical practice. The N is designated as clinical or pathologic based on the intent

(workup versus treatment) matching with the assessment of the T classification. When the intent is workup, the

staging basis is clinical, and when the intent is treatment, the staging basis is pathologic.

A. Microscopic assessment including biopsy of regional nodes or sentinel nodes if being performed as part of

the workup to choose the treatment plan, is therefore part of the clinical staging. When it is part of the workup, the

T category is clinical, and there has not been a resection of the primary site adequate for pathologic T classification

(which would be part of the treatment).

B. Microscopic assessment of regional nodes if being performed as part of the treatment is therefore part of the

pathologic staging. When it is part of the treatment, the T category is pathologic, and there has been a resection of

the primary site adequate for pathologic T classification (all part of the treatment).

Note 3: Microscopic assessment of the highest N category is always pathologic (code 3).

Note 4: If lymph node dissection is not performed after neoadjuvant therapy, use code 0 or 1.

Note 5: Only codes 5 and 6 are used if the node assessment is performed after neoadjuvant therapy.

retained, but new cases are not coded with this Factor. Use code 988 for this field.

Note 2: Code the status of extracapsular extension whether assessed clinically or pathologically of any involved

regional lymph node(s) coded in the CS Lymph Nodes field. Do not code extracapsular extension in any nodes

coded in CS Mets at DX in this field.

Note 3: A statement of the presence or absence of extracasular extension in a pathology report takes priority over

clinical assessment. However, if the pathology report contains no statement about extracapsular extension, either

positive or negative, the clinical assessment should be coded. If nodes are involved but there is neither a clinical

assessment of extranodal extension nor a statement about it in the pathology report, use code 999.

Note 4: According to AJCC (page 24), "Imaging studies showing amorphous speculated margins of involved nodes

or involvement of internodal fat resulting in loss of normal oval-to-round nodal shape strongly suggest extracapsular

(extranodal) tumor spread; however, pathologic examination is necessary for documentation of the extent of such

disease."
