Hi everyone, hope you're having a good weekend. I'm translating a surgical pathology report and this has shown up:
DESCRIPCIÓN MACROSCOPICA
A) Se remite para diagnóstico intreaoperatorio: cuña pulmonar que mide 5 x 4 x 1.2 cm. Superficie externa lisa de coloración violácea. Al corte se identifica una formación nodular subpleural que mide 0.3 cm y se encuentra a 0.4 cm de margen de resección quirúrgica.
PO1-A1 Tumor. A2 Parénquima no tumoral. RC1-RC5. IT.
B) Un fragmento irregular de color....
Given that we're talking about a neoplasia, I would have leaned towards the RC being "remisión completa" (CR1-CR5), but then I wondered why that would be on a pathology report, the pathologist wouldn't be telling the surgeon/physicians that. I also thought of "radiocirugía", but again doesn't make sense in this context.
Could anyone shed some light?
Thanks in advance!

I have seen English acronyms also used in medical reports in Spanish or some other languages. This might be the case in this report.
For example, it may refer to Rotated Components (RC), but hard to tell totally.
Synchronous Breast Cancer: Phenotypic Similarities on MRI
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › articles › PMC7318126
by H Wang · 2020 · Row names represent 50 feature names, column names represent six Rotated Components (RC) for contralateral synchornous breast cancers.

Reference:
Residual cancer?
Grade 5: No residual invasive cancer - https://ctep.cancer.gov/highlights/docs/symmans.pdf
A low grade number (grade 1) usually means the cancer is slower-growing and less likely to spread. A high grade number (grade 3) means a faster-growing cancer - the same link
What does no residual carcinoma mean?
If no cancer is found after neoadjuvant treatment, the pathologist will say no residual carcinoma. - https://www.breastcancer.org/pathology-report#section-her2-s...
Residual tumor (R) classification and prognosis - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8115781/

: Residual Cancer es inglés, el texto que nos muestra Kathryn aquí está en español. Y además, ¿qué significa la abreviación completa RC1?

The grade is from 1 to five and as you have noticed, I suppose, I think it's not infrequent English abbreviations appear in the text of other languages. If you want I’ll give you examples, but I think it’s not necessary.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
Cosnautas has over 40 possible meanings of RC but none of the ones they list appears to fit in this biopsy context (www.cosnautas.com)
Buena suerte ... esperemos a ver qué dicen los colegas!
