LOINC 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.;
