The Surgical Margins of the Primary Site describe the final status of margins following the resection of the primary tumor. This data item is an important quality measure for pathology reporting, contributes to staging, and serves as a prognostic factor for recurrence risk.

This code is applied to all cases, whether or not a surgical resection of the primary tumor is performed. The pathology report documents whether there is microscopic or macroscopic involvement of cancer at the resection margins.
