    2. histologic evaluation by the pathologist confirms the margins of the resected specimens are not involved by malignant cells.

    i. Patients with T4 tumors that have involved an adjacent structure (e.g., bladder, small intestine, ovary, etc.) by direct extension form the primary tumor must have had all or a portion of the adjacent structure removed en bloc with the primary tumor and local radiation therapy will not be utilized.
