Distance of tumor from closest distal margin [Length] in Specimen by Light microscopy

Tumor from Distal Margin Spec Micro

Definition

  • In a specimen, the distance from the tumor to the nearest distal margin is recorded. The tumor distance to margins is initially based on macroscopic assessment [LOINC: 81175-2] and confirmed or amended on microscopy, especially when the macroscopic size is difficult to assess (i.e. in early gastric carcinoma and diffuse carcinoma).
