Distance of tumor from circumferential resection margin [Length] in Specimen by Macroscopy   81176-0

LOINC Code


LOINC code81176-0
nameDistance of tumor from circumferential resection margin [Length] in Specimen by Macroscopy
descriptionThe 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.

propertyLen  =  Length
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemSpecimen
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
