81184-4
LaboratoryDistance of tumor from circumferential resection margin [Length] by Microscopy
Definition
The microscopic measurement of the distance between the tumor and circumferential resection margin (CRM). A separate macroscopic measurement (obtained with the unaided eye) [LOINC: 81176-0] may also be recorded. Involvement of the circumferential resection margin is an indicator of poor prognosis.
