Step 1: Understand what tumor grading is. Tumor grading is a way to classify cancer cells based on how much they look like normal cells.
Step 2: Learn about differentiation. Differentiation refers to how much the cancer cells resemble normal cells. Well-differentiated cells look more like normal cells, while poorly differentiated cells look less like them.
Step 3: Recognize the importance of histological features. These are the microscopic characteristics of the tumor cells that help doctors understand the tumor better.
Step 4: Know that tumor grading helps predict behavior. Higher grades usually mean the tumor is more aggressive and may grow or spread faster.
Step 5: Understand prognosis. Prognosis is the likely outcome of the disease. Tumor grading helps doctors estimate how well a patient might respond to treatment and what the future may hold.
