AI’s definition: RO in the context of surgical candidates typically refers to R0 resection, which means achieving a negative margin during surgery, indicating that no cancerous cells are left at the edges of the removed tissue.
When a surgeon does not believe they can be successful in removing the tumor successfully (clean margins) they will not write or state: RO.
