==Gross processing==
Gross tumors according to organ and/or tumor type (as per above) whenever possible. In additional to general '''[[gross processing]]''' guidelines, the following instructions are usually acceptable:
*Identify surgical '''margins''' where tumor involvement may be necessary to identify or negate.
:*Generally '''[[ink]]''' such margins.
*'''Section''' the specimen so as to get a gross overview of tumor extent.
*{{{Moderate-begin}}Take a gross '''photograph''' of the tumor.{{Moderate-end}}
*'''Describe''' the tumor, minimally by color and consistency (firm/rubbery versus semisolid), and possibly also including diffuse versus well-demarcated.
*'''Measure''' tumor dimensions and distances to relevant margins.
*'''Sampling''' of generally at least one slice per centimeter of tumor (which for larger tumors may be submitted as 2-3 sections per cassette).
