What is a Positive Margin After a Prostatectomy?

In an ideal world, after radical prostatectomy, the pathologist would send a triumphant report to the surgeon: "I've looked at the prostate tissue you removed from Mr. Jones, and all of the edges are clear. Congratulations! You've removed all the cancer!" Most often, it happens that way. Sometimes, however, the pathologist's report is more ambiguous: Either the margins -- the edges of the removed tumor -- are "positive," meaning they show cancer cells, or they're "close," meaning cancer is just a hair's breadth away from the edge of the specimen. Dr. Bevan-Thomas breaks this down and shares why obtaining a pathology report after surgery is so important for patients to do.
