Abstract
Macroscopic examination of the surgical specimen of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by pathologist is important for quality clinical management, research, as well as education purposes. The process includes dissection of the specimen, identification of the lesion, measurements, and taking appropriate samples for histopathological examination. The basic principle of the examination is to study the characteristics and extent of the cancer. In addition, examination of proximal resection margin and circumferential resection margin are important in the cancer. A standardized approach for macroscopic examination by professionals is needed for accurate diagnosis and to optimize the use of the surgical specimen with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
