Defining a positive circumferential resection margin in oesophageal cancer and its implications for adjuvant treatment [PDF]
, 2013 A positive circumferential resection margin (CRM) has been associated with a poorer prognosis in oesophageal and oesophagogastric junctional (OGJ) cancer. The College of American Pathologists defines the CRM as positive if tumour cells are present at the

Preoperative systemic inflammation predicts postoperative infectious complications in patients undergoing curative resection for colorectal cancer [PDF]
, 2009 The presence of systemic inflammation before surgery, as evidenced by the glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), predicts poor long-term survival in colorectal cancer. The aim was to examine the relationship between the preoperative mGPS and the development of
