Several grading systems are used depending on the type of cancer. Some of the most commonly used systems include:
- Gleason Score: Used primarily for prostate cancer. It grades cancer based on the pattern of cancer cells in the prostate tissue. - Bloom-Richardson Grade: Used for breast cancer. It assesses tubule formation, nuclear grade, and mitotic rate. - Fuhrman Grade: Applied to kidney cancer, focusing on nuclear characteristics. - WHO Classification: Used for various cancers, including brain tumors, and is based on cellular morphology and genetic markers.
