Wiki Metistatic Disease or not?

[ChelleLeavitt]

If a woman has breast cancer with positive lymph nodes, would you code the lymph nodes as metastatic to lymph nodes? i.e. pt has invasive breast cancer , er/pr positive and 3 of 25 lymph nodes were positive. What is your opinion?

yes, the lymph nodes would be coded as secondary metastisis
