Margin excised around tumor

Margin excised around tumor

There has been some question about the margin that was removed aroud my tumor. Is there any danger in a margin that is only 1 and 2 mm? There is a discrepancy among my doctors about this.  What is your opinion?

Dear ning:  In general, most surgeons would prefer a margin of 2mm or more.  However, if the pathologist reports that there is no cancer in the margin, then it is a clear margin.  A 1mm margin is acceptable.
