*Generally, tumour deposits are '''not''' counted as (positive) lymph nodes.<ref name=pmid21555695>{{Cite journal | last1 = Nagtegaal | first1 = ID. | last2 = Tot | first2 = T. | last3 = Jayne | first3 = DG. | last4 = McShane | first4 = P. | last5 = Nihlberg | first5 = A. | last6 = Marshall | first6 = HC. | last7 = Påhlman | first7 = L. | last8 = Brown | first8 = JM. | last9 = Guillou | first9 = PJ. | title = Lymph nodes, tumor deposits, and TNM: are we getting better? | journal = J Clin Oncol | volume = 29 | issue = 18 | pages = 2487-92 | month = Jun | year = 2011 | doi = 10.1200/JCO.2011.34.6429 | PMID = 21555695 }}</ref> | |||
**If no positive lymph nodes are present the N stage is pN1c. | |||
*Tumour stage is ''not'' affected by tumour deposits.<ref name=pmid21555695/> | |||
Note: | |||
*The definition of ''tumour deposit'' has changed significantly between the TMN/AJCC fifth, sixth and seventh editions.<ref name=pmid21555695/> | |||
