What is micro invasive?

It means that the cancer has invaded past the surface where it originated from further into the organ that is seen microscopically or minimally. Chances are from my experience, you're talking about colon cancer and it's probably a polyp. It means that the cancer is not neatly on the surface of the polyp anymore and that there are cancer cells going into the stalk of the polyp. More importantly you should see if the margins are clear, meaning that the removal of the tissue has hopefully removed the cancer. Microinvasion means that you should be vigilant with your follow-ups, but it's less concerning than frank invasion.
