My histology report has come back but has elements that I cannot find on any of the explanations of grading.
As well as T and N it also has L, V and R. Does anyone know what these refer to please?
Many thanks
Hi KKKMel I think the V stands for Extramural vascular invasion and the R for Involvement of Resection margin. The L maybe for lymph nodes. I don’t know the implications of these so you might get a better explanation from the support desk or in the Ask a Nurse section?
Take care
