Description

Codes describe the final status of surgical margins after resection of the primary tumor. See also RX Summ--Surg Prim Site [1290].



Rationale

This item serves as a quality measure for pathology reports, is used for staging, and may be a prognostic factor in recurrence. This item is not limited to cases that have been staged. It applies to all cases that have a surgical procedure of the primary site.
