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. This field is to be used for ROADS codes after the ROADS to FORDS conversion.
It is also to be used to code Scope of Regional Lymph Node Surgery at the reporting
facility for all tumors diagnosed before January 1, 2003. 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
