  1. IF1193: Conflict between TNM Clin N [value] and CS Site-Specific Factor 3 [value]

specification

Purpose: This edit verifies that TNM Clin N and TNM Path N are coded consistently with CS SSF 3 for Melanoma (Clinical Status of Lymph Nodes).

 

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

  4. Primary site/histology is not Melanoma of Skin

  5. TNM Clin N is blank

  6. TNM Clin N and TNM Path N are 88

  7. CS SSF 3 is blank or 988

  8. TNM Edition Number not = 07, U7

  9. TNM Path Descriptor = 4, 6

 

For melanoma of skin:

 

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 005 (Clinically negative nodes and no pathologic exam or pathologic exam negative or unknown if pathologic exam),

then TNM Clin N must = c0 and TNM Path N must = c0, p0, p2C,pX, or blank (no pathologic exam or unknown if performed, no pathologic node metastasis, pathologically identified satellite metastasis only)

   

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 010 (Clinically occult (microscopic) lymph node metastasis only)

then TNM Clin N must = c0 (no regional lymph node metastasis) and TNM Path N must = pX, p1A, p2A, or p3.

 

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 043 (Clinically apparent nodal metastasis in 1 regional node),

then TNM Clin N must = c1

 

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 045 (Clinically apparent nodal metastasis in 2-3 regional nodes)

then TNM Clin N must = c2

 

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 048 (Clinically apparent nodal metastasis in 4+ regional nodes)

then TNM Clin N must = c3

 

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 100 (Clinically apparent in transit metastasis with or without occult lymph node metastasis

then TNM Clin N must = c2C

 

  1. If CS SSF 3 = 999 (Unknown clinically if nodes involved)

then TNM Clin N must = cX

historical changes

In the SEER*Edits software, the title of this edit is: IF574.

08/2016

Per NAACCR v16, new edit added.

11/2016

Per NAACCR v16B:

  • p2C added as allowable value for TNM Path N if SSF 3 = 005.

  • Logic corrected, for SSF3 = 100, TNM Clin N must = c2C.

11/2016

Per NAACCR v16C:

  • Edit description, logic modified to allow pX and p3 as values with CS SSF 3 = 010. If nodes are clinically occult, number of pathologic nodes may be unknown or greater than 3.

  • Edit description, logic modified to not require c1 with CS SSF 3 = 050 (If number of involved nodes is not specified, TNM Clin N may = cX.

03/2017

Per NAACCR v16D:

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

  • Added skip if TNM Path Descriptor = 4,6.

  • Added skip if TNM Clin N only = blank. TNM Path N = blank skipped for checks on SSF 3 codes 005 and 010.
