Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Record in millimetres the total length of biopsy cores collected from a single specimen in pathology testing of a tissue biopsy as outlined in the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Prostate Cancer Structured Pathology Reporting Protocol (2014) CS3.05a. A single specimen refers to multiple cores collected from a single site. This should be recorded in conjunction with Core biopsy tumour length to provide the extent of the tumour in each specimen. |
