What is the Prognostic Importance of Histological Grading and Staging?
Histological grading and staging are essential for determining the prognosis and treatment strategy for cancer patients:
- Grading: Evaluates the degree of differentiation of cancer cells. Higher grades suggest more aggressive tumors. - Staging: Assesses the extent of tumor spread. The TNM (Tumor, Node, Metastasis) system is commonly used for staging.
