correct way to transcribe breast cancer staging - DiggerMT

Posted: Oct 02, 2012

Does anyone know the correct way to transcribe breast cancer staging when dictated as follows: pT2 "sentinel node 0" MX. I am not sure how to transcribe the dictated "sentinel node 0." Thanks for your help.

That's exactly how I'd do it - normally it's pT2, N0, MX - ohiocarole

So you would actually transcribe "sentinel node 0"?

I would transcribe as dictated: pT2, sentinel node 0, MX. nm - Hem/Onc CMT
