At cut-up the tumour bed was estimated at 5.0 cm. The residual cancer's size is estimated as 1.5 cm (based on a linear measurement of the tumour on slide D15-D16).

The estimated viable tumour was assessed in slides D14-D17 and was determined to be: 30%. The estimated viable tumour exceeds the cut-off (<=10%) for "Major Pathologic Response".[1]   
The estimated viable tumour was assessed in slides D14-D17 and was determined to be: 30%. The estimated viable tumour EXCEEDS the cut-off value (<=10%); thus, the specimen is NEGATIVE for a major pathologic response.[1]

The estimated viable tumour was assessed in slides C10-C13 and was determined to be: 10%. The estimated viable tumour is at the cut-off (<=10%) for 'Major Pathologic Response'.[1]  Additional sections of the tumour bed are negative; thus, a 'Major Pathologic Response' is favoured.
