Resektionsrand

The term "Resektionsrand" refers to the margin or border of a surgical resection, specifically in the context of oncology and pathology. It is the area surrounding the tumor that is removed during a surgical procedure to ensure that all cancerous tissue is eliminated. The resectionsrand is crucial for determining the completeness of the resection and the presence of any residual tumor cells. Pathologists examine the resectionsrand to assess the extent of the tumor's spread and to determine the appropriate staging and treatment plan. The width of the resectionsrand can vary depending on the type of tumor and the surgical approach used. In some cases, a wider resectionsrand may be necessary to ensure that all cancerous tissue is removed, while in other cases, a narrower resectionsrand may be sufficient. The resectionsrand is an important factor in determining the prognosis and outcome of cancer treatment.
