LOINC description : Describes the removal, biopsy, or aspiration of regional lymph node(s) at the time
of surgery of the primary site or during a separate surgical event at the reporting
facility. In evaluating quality of care and treatment practices it is important to
identify the removal, biopsy, or aspiration of regional lymph node(s) at the time
of surgery of the primary site or during a separate surgical event. If central registries
wish to study the treatment given at particular hospitals, the hospital-level treatment
fields must be used. The summary treatment fields, conversely, combine information
across all hospitals that provide first course of treatment for the tumor. Hospital-specific
fields allow studies of detailed referral patterns and treatment by type of hospital.
Knowing the extent of treatment given at a particular hospital also helps resolve
coding issues.. NAACCR Data Standards and Data Dictionary Version 11;
