An estimate of level of malignancy (grading and staging) is helpful for prognosis and determination of type of treatment.
Grading is based on - 1) Degree of differentiation (Grade 1 - Well differentiated, Grade 4 - anaplastic) 2) Rapidity of growth (Low grade: 3-5 mitoses/10 HPF; High grade: > 15 mitoses/10 HPF)
