*This rule applies to radical resections and complex cases.
*This rule applies to resections post treatment/no residual tumour (pyT0).  
*It defines the ''L6 code'' as an all encompassing code for a case. Resections that include lymph nodes and several organs are given a L6 code and adjusted upwards if (1) >30 blocks (see details) and/or (2) require more than one CAP synoptic report.

This article covers L4E rule 9 for the 2018 L4E workload system. An overview of the L4E rules is found in the L4E rules of 2018.

The definitive reference for this rule in found on the CAP-ACP website.[1]

Overview

  • This rule applies to resections post treatment/no residual tumour (pyT0).
