«The circumferential resection margin (CRM) is a term used in rectal carcinoma excision surgery. Pathologic evaluation of the resection margin on the excised rectum has been considered important for determining the risk of local recurrence. A margin of ≤1 mm is considered by some to be a negative prognostic factor for local recurrence (Park JS, et al., 2014, apud 1). (...). The CRM is not valid for excised colon covered by a peritoneal lining [1].» It is defined as the shortest distance from an affected region to the mesorectal fascia (MRF) and should be at least 1 mm [2]. It also called the radial margin.
