How is Grading and Staging of Cancerous Tissues Conducted?
Grading and staging are critical for determining the severity and spread of cancer:
Grading: Histological grading assesses how much cancer cells differ from normal cells. Low-grade cancers resemble normal cells, while high-grade cancers appear more abnormal and aggressive. Staging: Staging evaluates the extent of cancer spread. It considers tumor size, lymph node involvement, and metastasis. The TNM system (Tumor, Node, Metastasis) is commonly used.
