If a surgery produces a specimen with cancer, as well as re-excisions from certain directions, you should preferably give the closest distance to margins in each specimen, as well as the closest distance overall in a synoptic, for example: | |||
{|class=wikitable | |||
| A. (Specimen with most of the cancer) | |||
*(...) | |||
*Invasive carcinoma is present at inked medial margin (see specimen B for final medial margin), and is located 0.3 cm from the lateral margin. | |||
B. (Re-excision in the direction of the medial margin) | |||
*(...) | |||
*Invasive carcinoma is located 0.5 cm from the new medial margin. | |||
'''Synoptic''' | |||
*(...) | |||
*Distance from invasive carcinoma to closest margin: 0.3 cm | |||
*Closest margin(s) to invasive carcinoma: Lateral | |||
