Upper GI - Pathology

This is the site specific section for additional Upper GI cancer specific data items to be recorded. These will be aligned within the schema to form a single report.

May be up to one occurrence per pathology report (0..1)

Note the following data items has been retired from v5:

• Total Number of Colorectal Metastases in Liver Code
  • removed as now collected within the new Liver Pathology section in pLV10010
• Excision Margin (Proximal, Distal)
  • replaced with separate data items for Distal and Proximal on advice of RCPath SMEs
• Excision Margin (Circumferential)
  • this data item is now centralised in CORE [pCR1150], as this is relevant to many tumours
