| *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.
