MESSAGE

  1. IF1192: TNM Clin N of [value] is not consistent with coded size of nodes

  2. IF1192: TNM Path N of [value] is not consistent with coded size of nodes

  3. IF1192: TNM Clin N of [value] and TNM Path N of [value] not consistent with coded size of nodes

specification

This edit is skipped if any of the following conditions are true:

  1. Year of Date of Diagnosis is less than 2016, blank (unknown), or invalid

  2. Type of Reporting Source = 7 (Death Certificate Only)

  3. Histologic Type ICD-O-3 is blank

  4. Behavior Code ICD-O-3 = 0 (benign) or 1 (borderline)

  5. Site/Histology where numeric value for size of nodes is not collected

  6. TNM Clin N and TNM Path N are both blank or 88

  7. TNM Edition Number not = 07, U7

 

Skip 5 applied after determination of site/histology group

 

TNM Clin N and TNM Path N may be blank.  If one or both of these are entered, the field(s) will be edited site-specifically.  A cN or pN category will be compared to the appropriate site-specific factor for the site/histology.  The edit will first compare the number of nodes to pN category entered in TNM Path N, and then to cN category entered in TNM Clin N.The edit comparisons will proceed as follows:

 

  1. If TNM PATH N is empty:

    1. TNM Clin N and Site-Specific Factor:  Pass, edit passes

    2. TNM Clin N and Site-Specific Factor:  Fail, edit fails

 

  1. If TNM Path N is coded:

    1. TNM Path N and Site-Specific Factor: Pass, edit passes

    2. TNM Path N and Site-Specific Factor: Fail

      1. If TNM Clin N is empty, edit fails

      2. If TNM Clin N is coded:

        1. TNM Clin N and Site-Specific Factor: Pass, edit passes

        2. TNM Clin N and Site-Specific Factor: Fail, edit fails

 

 

"980", "980 millimeters or larger",  is the largest possible size for nodes. Nonspecific size values are converted to numeric values for purposes of the edit. The edit passes if size of nodes is coded "999", unknown.  

 

The site-specific TNM N values with the corresponding size of nodal metastasis/size of nodes, and the Site-Specific Factor used to collect the information, are listed below. The number next to each site title indicates the respective chapter in the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, Edition 7. The list includes only those sites/histology groups where pathologic N is based on the size of regional nodal metastasis/nodes. The site/histology groups are identified by site and histology in the edits Primary Site, AJCC Stage Group 2016 - Ed 7 (COC), Primary Site, Stage Group 2016 - Ed 7 (NPCR), and Primary Site, Stge Group 2016 - Ed 7 (SEER).  

 

NOTE: Size of lymph nodes is also involved in assignment of N category for Vulva, Renal Pelvis/Ureter, and Urethra, but this information is not collected in a separate site-specific factor.  Node size is collected as a code rather than a numeric value in a site-specific factor for Testis.

historical changes

08/2016

Per NAACCR v16, new edit added.

09/2016

Per NAACCR v16A:

  • Corrected logic for first INLIST of primary sites for site/histology group 57A, 000-419-440 changed to 000-440.

  • Corrected Edit Logic to include 9727 as lymphoma rather than lymphoma/leukemia code, to delete 9728-9729 as obsolete codes.

  • Added Group 57C, C420, C421, C424, 9811-9818, 9837,to Edit Logic.

11/2016

Per NAACCR v16B:

  • Description updated to reference 3 edits where site/histology groups are identified: Primary Site, AJCC Stage Group 2016 - Ed 7 (COC), Primary Site, Stage Group 2016 - Ed 7 (NPOCR), and Primary Site, Stage Group 2016 - Ed 7 (SEER).

  • In the SEER*Edits software, the title of this edit is: IF617.

  • Corrected edit logic for assigning site/histology group 011 to group 10B or 999 based on histology and CS Site-Specific Factor 25.

03/2017

Per NAACCR v16D:

  • Added skip if TNM Edition Number not = 07,U7.

  • Added to description, edit passes if size of nodes coded "999".

  • Reformatted logic statements for greater clarity (edit returns not changed).

  • Corrected logic excluding site/histo group 04A from conversion of nonspecific codes to numeric size values for table lookup.
