This type of tumor is assigned a grade of low, intermediate or high depending on the cellular characteristics of the cancer. Low-grade sarcomas are usually treated with surgery. Intermediate and high-grade sarcomas are usually treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. ...
— --Question:What does the grade of the tumor, rate of cell growth and differentiation mean? Answer:Looking at the tumor under the microscope is extremely important for determining what to do next (prognosis) and appropriate choice of therapy. One of the things we look at under the microsco...

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a unique low-grade tumor composed of cords and nests of clear cells in a hyalinized stroma that was first reported by Milchgrub et al. It was recognized as a separate entity from clear cell variants of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma, myoepithelial...
The other main sign is bone replacing soft tissue. This usually starts with tumorlike growths on the back, neck, and shoulders. The growths are painful and soon turn into bone. These flare-ups repeat throughout your life and spread to the rest of your body. ...
be either noted in an individual tumor at the time of presentation or between varying anatomic locations of the disease (primary versus metastatic). If both high- and low- grade components are present in a single NET, this is strong evidence that the high-grade component is a well-differen-...
We previously reported that nuclear grade assignment of prostate carcinomas is subject to a cognitive bias induced by the tumor architecture. Here, we asked whether this bias is mediated by the non-conscious selection of nuclei that "match the expectation" induced by the inadvertent glance at the...
Cancer is staged I-IV after all factors are taken into consideration, including cancer grade. Stage I means the tumor is small and low grade. Stage II means the tumor is small and high grade. Stage III means the tumor is large and higher grade. Stage IV means the tumor has spread to ...
(or tubulocystic) collecting duct carcinomas, both of which are believed to derive from the Bellini duct; (3) medullary (high grade) carcinoma currently identified as a malignant tumor closely related to urothelial cell carcinoma; and (4) mucinous tubular spindle cell carcinoma of low malignant...
