- This belongs to the set of Collaborative Staging (CS) data items effective with 2004 diagnosis. It is based on and replaces EOD--Lymph Node Involv [810]. This modification for CS is collapsible into AJCC N code according to the sixth edition of AJCC Cancer Staging Manual. "CS Lymph Nodes" is site-specific and identifies the regional lymph nodes involved with cancer at the time of diagnosis. Site-specific codes provide extensive detail describing disease extent. "CS Lymph Nodes" is used to derive the Derived AJCC N [2960], Derived AJCC Stage Group [3000], Derived SS1977 [3010], and Derived SS2000 [3020] codes. ..
