LOINC long common name : Tumor perforation [Type];
LOINC short name : Tumor perforation Type;
LOINC description : The surgeon's assessment of the nature of the perforation through the tumor. The type
of tumor perforation is a prognostic factor in determining postoperative mortality
and long-term survival. Perforation away from the tumor, related to colonic obstruction
by the tumor, should be distinguished from perforation through the tumor. Perforation
occurring during the course of surgery should be differentiated from the colonic obstructon
and should be identified as such by the surgeon. This term was created for, but not
limited in use to, the Colorectal Cancer Structured Reporting Protocol (2nd Edition,
2012) developed by the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA).;
