Breast Specimen Measurement Methodology and Its Potential Major Impact on Tumor Size

Abstract: Objective Pathologic tumor size assessment highly depends on the gross specimen size once microscopic cancer size exceeds its macroscopic size, in particular if the dimension along the plane of sectioning is the greatest. We hypothesize that the method by which the specimen size is estimated can yield significantly different tumor size measurements and thus affect breast cancer staging and treatment. Methods The size in the plane of sectioning of 50 lumpectomies over 4 cm was examined by 5 methods: measured gr… Show more

“…Dinkel et al [39] proposed a method that can measure the diameters of lung cancer regions on the three orthogonal views (axial, coronal and sagittal views). Haddad et al [40] measured the diameters of breast cancers by dividing the cancer into serval slices in one dimension, whereas the proposed approach measured the maximum diameters of whole tumor regions and solid components with the Feret method for all projections. Thus, the proposed approach in this study followed the guidelines rather than past studies.…”
