Excerpt

Surgical margin status is the most significant prognostic factor for patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma.1 Musculoskeletal oncology specimens are often complex and contain various tissue types (skin, fascia, muscle, bone, cartilage). Currently, a telephone conversation without visual aid is the standard of care for pathologists to communicate the presence and location of a close or positive margin. Studies have shown that surgeons have difficulty relocating the positive margin site using current protocols due to complex three-dimensional (3D) anatomy. Improving upon this is important, as re-resection of positive margins improves patient outcomes.1
