tumor classification

Tumor classification refers to the process of identifying and categorizing tumors based on their characteristics, such as origin, type of cells, and behavior. Tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant tumors are often classified by their grade, which indicates how aggressive they are, and their stage, which describes how far the cancer has spread. This classification helps doctors determine the best treatment options and predict outcomes for patients, guiding important medical decisions in cancer care.
