cytological grading

Cytological grading is a method used by doctors to evaluate the appearance of cells taken from tissues, often during a biopsy. It helps determine how abnormal the cells look and how aggressive a potential cancer might be. The grading typically ranges from low (cells are more normal and grow slowly) to high (cells look very abnormal and may grow quickly). This information assists in deciding the best treatment options and can provide insights into the likely behavior of the disease. Essentially, it helps assess the severity of a condition based on cellular characteristics.
