Distance of tumor from circumferential resection margin [Length] in Specimen by Macroscopy

Distance Tumor from CRM Spec Macro

Definition

  • The distance between the tumor and circumferential resection margin (CRM) is recorded for tumors of the gastric cardia. This measurement is facilitated by horizontal sectioning through the tumor. To increase accuracy, the distance between the tumor and the CRM is subsequently measured microscopically [LOINC: 81184-4]. Involvement of the circumferential resection margin is an indicator of poor prognosis.
