Scoring:
Scoring:
*Low grade: 0-4 points.
*Low grade = 0-4 points.
*Intermediate grade: 5 or 6 points.
*Intermediate grade = 5-6 points.
*High grade: 7+ points.
*High grade = 7+ points.
 
======Weinreb modification======
Weinreb looks for the following:
*Tumour invades in small nests/islands - 2 points.
**If applicable, the two points are added to the AFIP score.
**The tumour is graded using the AFIP (scoring) cut points -- see above.

**Presence assoc. with low-grade MEC (vs. high-grade MEC) & favourable prognosis.
**Not seen in tumours that are in the DDx of MEC.
