Brief Answer:
Further information is needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I need further information on biopsy report. You can ask the pathologist to review and tell whether perineural invasion is resent lymphovascular invasion is present.
If either of these is present then radiotherapy is required. If negative, then just observation. She will have prolong survival as tumor is very small.
MRI of abdomen is not required if done previously and no other site of tumor was present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Only biopsy after surgery will help
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The tumor removed after surgery needs to be examined. Previous biopsy wont help. You can ask for blocks of post operative tissue and submit at any other reliable lab for more information. Ultrasound won't help.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you.
