| name | Distance of tumor from circumferential resection margin [Length] in Specimen by Macroscopy | ||||
| description | 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. | ||||

| scale | Qn = 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 | ||||
