  1. The Anatomy of Collaborative Staging:Head and Neck Presentation developed by Collaborative Staging Steering Committee ajcc@facs.org 2005 update

  2. Head and Neck Cancer • Collaborative Stage fields (in general) • Tumor Size--standard • Extension • TS/Ext Eval--standard • Lymph Nodes • LN Eval--standard • LN Pos--standard • LN Exam--standard • Mets at Dx • Mets Eval--standard • Site-Specific Factors • SSF1 Size of LN • SSF2 Extracapsular exten. • SSF3 Levels I-III • SSF4 Levels IV-V, Retrophar • SSF5 Levels VI-VII, Facial • SSF6 Other H&N nodes

  3. Head and Neck Schemes TNM Chapters: 6 Summary Stage Sites: 22 Collaborative Staging: 30 • Determining the correct primary site is important! • Site-specific factors are the same for all head and neck sites.

  4. Head and Neck -- CS Tumor Size • Lip • Upper • Lower • Other • Tongue • Base • Anterior • Gum • Upper • Lower • Other • Floor of Mouth • Palate • Hard • Soft • Other Mouth • Buccal Mucosa • Salivary Glands • Parotid • Submandibular • Other Salivary • Pharynx • Oropharynx • Anterior Epiglottis • Nasopharynx • Hypopharynx • Other Pharynx * • Nasal Cavity • Middle Ear • Sinus • Maxillary • Ethmoid • Other * • Larynx • Glottic • Supraglottic • Subglottic • Other • Thyroid is NOT included • * no TNM staging • ABC requires Tumor Size for TNM • XYZTumor Size not a factor in TNM

  5. Head and Neck -- CS Extension • General format • 00 In situ • 10 Lamina propria/submucosa • 30 Localized, NOS • 40-59 Adjacent structures (T3) • 60-69 Mixed T3-T4 (site specific) • 70-80 Adjacent structures (T4) • 95 No evidence of primary tumor

  6. Head and Neck -- CS Extension • Muscles of the tongue • Used in shaping the mouth for speech, chewing and swallowing • Intrinsic musculature • Muscles within the tongue (no bony attachment) • Also called lingual • Used to curl sides of tongue upward • When mentioned as involved, code in CS Extension 20 range • NOT part of T4 category in TNM • Extrinsic musculature • Muscles anchoring the tongue in the mouth • Attached to mandible, hyoid bone, styloid process of temporal bone, or palate • When mentioned as involved, code in CS Extension 70-75 range (except sites: floor of mouth and submandibular gland) • When involved, map to T4 in TNM

  8. Head and Neck Lymph NodesOverview • Regional lymph node information is coded in several fields. • CS Lymph Nodes field • nodes involved, their number and laterality • Site-Specific Factors 1 and 2 • size of involved lymph nodes • presence of extracapsular extension • Site-Specific Factors 3-6 • presence or absence of lymph node involvement in each of 7 different levels and other groups defined by AJCC.

  9. Lymph Nodes--Specific Fields • CS LN: which nodes, number and laterality • SSF1: size of involved node • SSF2: extracapsular extension • SSF3: levels I-III • SSF4: levels IV-V • SSF5: levels VI-VII and face • SSF6: other LN groups Image source: AJCC Cancer Staging Manual, 5th edition

  10. Head and Neck Lymph NodesCS Lymph Nodes • Contains information about the nodes involved, their general number and laterality. • Code ranges vary by primary site. • Major categories: Single positive ipsilateral node involved Multiple positive ipsilateral nodes Bilateral or contralateral positive nodes Positive regional nodes, NOS

  11. Head and Neck Lymph NodesCS Lymph Nodes • New note March 2005 • Supraclavicular lymph nodes can be either Level IV or Level V. • Level IV: deep to sternocleidomastoid muscle or in lower jugular chain • Level V: posterior triangle, inferior to transverse cervical artery • Try to determine whether Level IV or Level V. • If cannot be determined, code as Level V. • Excludes Nasopharynx and Thyroid • March 2005 revision: Add “Supraclavicular, NOS” to code 12 • Excludes Nasopharynx and Thyroid

  12. Head and Neck Lymph NodesCS Lymph Nodes • Example--Parotid Gland 00 None 10-19 Single positive ipsilateral node involved 20-29 Multiple positive ipsilateral nodes 30-32 Positive ipsilateral nodes, unk. if 1 or > 1 40-49 Bilateral or contralateral positive nodes 50-52 Regional nodes, NOS, unk. number and laterality 80 Lymph nodes, NOS

  13. Head and Neck Lymph NodesCS Lymph Nodes--N Categories • Example--Parotid Gland 00 N0 18 N1, no other information 19 N2a, no other information 29 N2b, no other information 49 N2c, no other information 60 N2, NOS 70 N3, no other information

  14. Site-Specific Factor 1Size of Involved Node • Code size of NODE, not size of metastasis • Code largest diameter measured clinically or pathologically • Code regional nodes only • Size format same as tumor size with extra choices • 996 Described as less than 6 cm • 997 Described as more than 6 cm

  15. Site-Specific Factor 2Extracapsular Extension • Code extracapsular extension identified clinically or pathologically • Pathologic confirmation takes precedence • Imaging studies may show • amorphous spiculated margins on nodes • involvement of internodal fat • loss of normal oval to round shape • Code regional nodes only • Code 888 if nodes are negative

  16. Site-Specific Factor 2Extracapsular Extension • Codes 000 No extracapsular extension 001 Extracapsular extension clinically, no path; Nodes described as “fixed,” no path 005 Extracapsular extension on path exam 888 Not applicable: no node involvement 999 Unknown; not documented; not assessed Pathologic Lymph Nodes 000 No extracapsular extension 005 Extracapsular extension Image source: TNM Interactive (CD-ROM), Wiley-Liss

  17. Site-Specific Factors 3-6 Definitions of levels are the same for all applicable head and neck sites. SSF 3 Levels I-III SSF 4 Levels IV and V and the retropharyngeal nodes SSF 5 Levels VI and VII and the facial nodes SSF 6 Other groups as defined by AJCC

  18. Lymph Node Levels I Submental and submandibular II Upper jugular III Middle jugular IV Lower jugular and supraclavicular V Superficial cervical (along spinal accessory nerve) VI Anterior compartment (prelaryngeal and paratracheal) VII Upper mediastinal VII Image source: voice-center.com (The Voice Center, Norfolk, VA)

  19. Coding Site-Specific Factors 3-6 SSF 3 Levels I-III ___ ___ ___ I II III SSF 4 Levels IV-V, ___ ___ ___ retropharyngeal (RP) IV V RP SSF 5 Levels VI-VII, ___ ___ ___ Facial (F) VI VII F SSF 6 Other groups ___ ___ ___ Parapharyngeal (PP), PP PA S Parotid (PA), Suboccipital (S) • Default is 0, not involved. • If any level/chain is involved, code as 1, involved.

  20. Coding Site-Specific Factors 3-6Example: Buccal Mucosa LRND: 2 positive parotid nodes (< 3 cm with extracapsular exten.), 1 positive buccal (facial) node (2 cm), and 1 positive 2 cm submandibular (Level I) node.

  22. Head and Neck -- CS Mets at Dx • Code 10 revision March 2005 • DeleteSupraclavicular (transverse cervical) • Supraclavicular nodes are REGIONAL--code in CS Lymph Nodes and SSF4. • Review and recode any cases coded 10 or 50 (should be very few)

  23. Classification of Neck Dissections (1) • Standardized terminology of American Academy of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery • Radical Neck Dissection • Standard basic procedure for cervical lymphadenectomy • En bloc clearance of all fibrofatty tissue from one side of neck • Includes lymph nodes from Levels I-V plus those around tail of parotid • Removes spinal accessory nerve (SAN), internal jugular vein (IJV), and sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM)

  24. Classification of Neck Dissections (2) • Modified Radical Neck Dissection • Removal of same lymph node groups (I-V) but with preservation of 1 or more of non-lymphatic structures: • spinal accessory nerve (SAN) • internal jugular vein (IJV) • sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) • Comprehensive Neck Dissection • Non-standard term referring to any dissection removing node Levels I-V, i.e., radical or modified radical

  25. Classification of Neck Dissections (3) • Selective Neck Dissection • Removal of certain lymph node groups and preservation of other groups • Supraomohyoid • selective removal of Levels I, II, and III • preservation of SAN, SCM, and IJV • sometimes includes Level IV • Lateral • selective removal of Levels II, III, and IV • preservation of SAN, SCM, and IJV

  26. Classification of Neck Dissections (4) • Selective Neck Dissections, continued • Anterior Compartment • selective removal of Level VI • usually bilateral, may be unilateral • Posterolateral • used for cutaneous scalp malignancies • removal of suboccipital, postauricular, and upper, middle, and lower jugular nodes, and posterior triangle nodes

  27. Classification of Neck Dissections (5) • Extended Neck Dissection • Refers to any type of above types of dissection, but involving the removal of additional lymph node groups or nonlymphatic structures beyond what is normally included. Examples: • Extended modified radical neck dissection • Extended selective anterior compartment neck dissection

  28. TNM Supplement Guidelines • Tumor involving two sites • Classify to site in which greater part of tumor is located • Consider only invasive component if tumor has associated carcinoma in situ • Extension • Superficial • spread limited to mucosa • not sufficient for T4 • Deep • muscles, bones or other deep structures (vertical or horizontal invasion)
