ABSTRACT
The completeness of tumor removal is described in the residual tumor classification (R classification). The R category of a surgical specimen reflects the effects of treatment, influences further treatment decisions and is associated with patient survival. Thorough pathological examination of all resection planes, including the circumferential margin, is necessary for accurate classification.
