Derived Staging
Derived staging information is given so that the user may compare these codes to their manual codes in the earlier exercises.
Stage Code
- T: cT4
- N: pN2
- M: cM0
- AJCC Stage: IIIC
- Summary Stage: 4, regional by both direct extension and regional lymph nodes
Note: Derived Stage is different from directly coded Stage because CS allows use of CT information to be included in lymph node assessment.
