Message:

Regional Nodes Positive [value]and CS Lymph Nodes conflict [value]

 

Specification:

The number of positive regional nodes is required to calculate the correct N category for this schema. Use codes 400-480 when the pathology report assigns an

N1 or N2 category but does not specify the number of nodes involved, or the record identifies an N1 or N2 category but the specific information about number

of nodes involved is not available. Use codes 110-300 rather than codes 400-480 when information about the number of positive nodes is available, or when nodes are clinically positive but not removed for examination." The actual number of involved nodes will be coded in Reg LN Pos."

 

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

  1. CS Lymph Nodes is blank

  2. Regional Nodes Positive is blank

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

  4. CS schema is invalid

This edit first determines the correct CS schema by doing a function call to the CS Dynamic Link Library (dll). The function call passes Primary Site, Histologic Type ICD-O-3, and CS Site-Specific Factor25 (schema discriminator) to the dll and the CS schema number is returned.

For cases using the Colon, Appendix, or Rectum schemas:

If Regional Nodes Positive = 01 - 90 (number of positive nodes are known), CS Lymph Nodes must not = 400, 410, 420, 430, 450, 460, 470, 480.

If CS Lymph Nodes = 400, 410, 420, 430, 450, 460, 470, 480, then Regional Nodes Positive must = 95 (positive aspiration of lymph node(s) was performed) or 97. (Positive nodes are documented, but the number is unspecified).
