Follicular lymphoma grading
Follicular lymphoma grading is a way doctors classify this type of blood cancer based on how the cancer cells look under a microscope. They examine the size and shape of the cancer cells and how many of them are dividing. The grades range from 1 to 3: Grade 1 has small, less active cells, indicating a slower-growing, less aggressive cancer. Grade 3 has larger, more active cells and tends to grow faster and may require different treatment approaches. This grading helps doctors predict the disease’s behavior and plan the most effective treatment.
