Abstract
In this chapter, the basic principles of tumor excisions will be discussed. By introducing several different methods for tumor excisions and converting 3D margins to a 2D plane, the reader will be given the opportunity to develop her/his own preferred procedure. It should be noted that the choice of method is mainly influenced by the preferences of the executing surgeon, the interaction between surgical team and pathology, and the histological procedure chosen which will be discussed later in this book (Chap. 5).
