Guide for use: | Record in millimetres the total length of tissue involved by carcinoma in a single specimen found 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 is generally collected in relation to tissue that has been surgically removed due to the presence of cancer. This should be recorded in conjunction with Core biopsy length to provide the extent of the tumour in each specimen. |
