LaboratoryDominant nodule plane [Anatomy] in Prostate tumor
Definition
The location of the dominant (largest) nodule by plane (e.g. apex, mid, or base of prostate). This information is important for correlation with needle biopsy findings, imaging results, etc. To record the location of other nodule(s) by plane, use [LOINC: 84901-8]. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Prostate Cancer (Radical Prostatectomy) Structured Reporting Protocol (2nd Edition, 2014) developed by the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) for structured reporting of prostate cancer.
