- Initial cutting can be:
- A longitudinal cut opposite to the tumor if it is relatively demarcated

- Measure the distance proximal and distal of the tumor.[1]
- Note any accompanying "polyps".[1]
- Describe the serosa, and whether there are any suspected tumor breakthroughs hereof.[1]
- Further tumor evaluation:[1]
- Size
- The proportion of the circumference involved
- Distance to the resection edges
