Notes:

<br>† It is useful use the word "possible" lymph ~~node", i.e.~~ "possible lymph node" is preferred over "lymph node". Lymph nodes are not reliably identified at gross.

<br>† It is useful use the word "possible" when describing lymph nodes; in the gross report "possible lymph node" is preferred over "lymph node". Lymph nodes are not reliably identified at gross.

<br>‡ If multiple lymph nodes are sectioned and these are not marked: it is not possible to reliably count the number of positive lymph nodes. Example: two lymph nodes are bisected and two sections have a small amount of cancer. Is that two positive lymph nodes or one positive lymph node that was bisected?
