What Are the Components of the Nottingham Histologic Score?
The score is based on the evaluation of three components:
Tubule Formation: This assesses the percentage of the tumor that forms glandular or tubular structures. Nuclear Pleomorphism: This evaluates the variability in the size, shape, and appearance of the nuclei of the tumor cells. Mitotic Count: This measures the number of mitotic figures, or cells that are currently dividing, in a specified area of the tissue.
