Grade

I was wondering if anyone has had a large tumour’mine is 14 cm ‘ but did not get it classed as a grade 4 after the pathology tests at lab. I’m convinced mine will be a grade 4 after it’s looked at due to the size so am interested to know if others have had different experience.

Hi,

Grade and size don’t seem to be related.

There’s some useful information at https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/what-is-cancer/cancer-grading

Thankyou for that , ye it seems like the bigger the tumour then the more chance of being high grade , but on the other hand the fact the tumour hasn’t spread might mean it is a large tumour that has been growing along time but sort of behaves as it grows , if that makes sense, while some smaller ones spread quicker
