NCIt definition : A pathologic regional lymph nodes TNM finding. The definition of pN2 finding depends
on the particular type of cancer that it refers to; for example, for breast cancer,
pN2 finding is defined as follows: cancer with metastases in 4 to 9 axillary lymph
nodes, or metastases in clinically detected internal mammary lymph nodes in the absence
of axillary lymph node metastases. Clinically detected is defined as detected by imaging
studies (excluding lymphoscintigraphy) or by clinical examination and having characteristics
highly suspicious for malignancy or a presumed pathologic macrometastasis based on
fine needle aspiration biopsy with cytologic examination; for colorectal cancer, pN2
stage finding is defined as follows: cancer with metastasis in four or more regional
lymph nodes. (from AJCC 7th Ed.);
