Clinical stage
   cNX Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed
   cN0 No palpable or visibly enlarged inguinal lymph nodes
   cN1 Palpable mobile unilateral inguinal lymph node
   cN2 Palpable mobile ≥2 unilateral inguinal lymph nodes or bilateral inguinal lymph nodes
   cN3 Palpable fixed inguinal nodal mass or pelvic lymphadenopathy unilateral or bilateral
Pathologic stage
   pNX Lymph node metastasis cannot be established
   pN0 No lymph node metastasis
