Distance of tumor from closest distal margin [Length] in Specimen by Light microscopy   81183-6

LOINC Code


LOINC code81183-6
nameDistance of tumor from closest distal margin [Length] in Specimen by Light microscopy
descriptionIn a specimen, the distance from the tumor to the nearest distal margin is recorded. The tumor distance to margins is initially based on macroscopic assessment [LOINC: 81175-2] and confirmed or amended on microscopy, especially when the macroscopic size is difficult to assess (i.e. in early gastric carcinoma and diffuse carcinoma).

componentDistance of tumor from closest distal margin
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
