Comprehensiveness
On this resource, the following formatting is used for comprehensiveness:
- Minimal depth
- (Moderate depth)
- ((Comprehensive))
Gross processing
Gross tumors according to organ and/or tumor type (as per above) whenever possible. In additional to general gross processing guidelines, the following instructions are usually acceptable:
- Identify surgical margins where tumor involvement may be necessary to identify or negate.
- Generally ink such margins.
- Section the specimen so as to get a gross overview of tumor extent.
- {(Take a gross photograph of the tumor.)
- Describe the tumor, minimally by color and consistency (firm/rubbery versus semisolid), and possibly also including diffuse versus well-demarcated.
- Measure tumor dimensions and distances to relevant margins.
- Sampling of generally at least one slice per centimeter of tumor (which for larger tumors may be submitted as 2-3 sections per cassette).
By gross appearance
Evaluation
The most important aspects of a tumor is whether it is malignant or not, and staging. Further information: Evaluation of suspected malignancies
