Rules for description generation:

  1. Apply General rules for generating descriptions for templates

  2. Remove "of [body structure]" if 'Inherent location' is not included

  3. This "template" documents current authoring consensus for concepts representing distance from margin X to neoplasm Y.  No current concept model rules allow definition of distance between to points where both endpoints must described.

  4. Conclusion, use for guidance but not for batch authoring
