The surgical resection margin
In the treatment of cancer the fundamental surgical goal is to remove all local malignant disease and leave no residual malignant cells. Studies have demonstrated the benefit of achieving negative resection margins in terms of disease free local recurrence and overall survival. The surgical margins for Head & Neck cancer may vary widely depending on the site of disease. This variation reflects ...

In 1993, Sagar et al reported that microscopic involvement of the circumferential resection margin (CRM) is related to local recurrence and decreased survival. Since then, the role of the CRM in esophageal cancer has been extensively investigated in the literature. Dexter et al in 2001 found in their study, which included 135 patients with esophageal cancer, that 64 patients (47%) were positive...
متن کاملSacral Chordoma: Challenging for Resection Margin
Differential diagnosis is important for the surgical and the postsurgical management of a chordoma. The accurate diagnosis of tumors is of valuable prognostic significance. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy or core-needle biopsy in the case of bony lesions has been suggested to be the most oncologically sound approach to establish a diagnosis before resection, with care to avoid tumor seeding [5, 7...
متن کاملAdequate length of the surgical distal resection margin in rectal cancer: from the viewpoint of pathological findings.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have not identified how to determine the optimal distal margin in rectal cancer based on histopathological diagnosis. We examined the surgical distal resection margin from a histopathological viewpoint. METHODS We enrolled 629 patients. The type of distal spread was evaluated, and the maximum length of distal spread was measured using a micrometer. RESULTS The fr...
