*Grade 1: <5% solid component. | |||
*Grade 2: 5-50% solid component. | |||
*Grade 3: >50% solid component. | |||
Modifiers/adjustment: | |||
*High grade nuclei upgrades cancer by one; high grade nuclei = increased size, irregular large nucleoli, irregular chromatin pattern (clumped, coarse).<ref>{{Ref DCHH|240}}</ref> | |||
