Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Record the presence of residual tumour on completion of the course of treatment for cancer. In some cases treated with surgery and/or neoadjuvant therapy, residual tumour will be present at the primary site after treatment because of incomplete resection or local and regional disease extending beyond the scope of resection. |

Collection methods: | This information should be sought from the patient's medical record, referral letters or attending medical clinician. |
