Twenty-five patients with TisN0M0 lesions with presence of normal, adenoma (low or intermediate grade) and Tis cancer cells on the same tissue section were selected.
Gleason score ≤6 carcinomas are considered low grade, Gleason 7 is intermediate grade, and those with Gleason score 8 and above are regarded as high grade (for recent review on grading system, see [3]).
Overall, 67% of cases had high-grade disease, 26% intermediate grade and 7% low grade.
Cases 2 and 3 contained ductal carcinoma in situ, of intermediate grade and low grade, respectively.
With respect to these criteria, cases were divided into 'non-high-grade' (low grade + intermediate grade) and 'high grade' DCIS.
Thus, 51 patients (61%) had a high-grade, 6 (7%) an intermediate grade, and 27 (32%) a low-grade NHL.
Specifically, NET has been classified as grade 1 (G1: low grade, so-called carcinoid tumor), grade 2 (G2: intermediate grade), and grade 3 (G3: high grade).
Associations with obesity were examined for total prostate cancer as well as its subtypes (localised, advanced; high-grade, intermediate grade and low grade).
According to the Working Formulation, 61% of our patients had a high-grade, 7% an intermediate grade, and 32% a low-grade PBL.
Increase in the axis to the nipple occurred at 1.8 mm y−1for low grade, 4.2 mm y−1for intermediate grade and 7.1 mm y−1for high grade.
For example, a data element called "grade of tumor" can be collected using various formats (e.g. some collect "grade-1, grade-2, and grade-3" vs. others who collect "low grade, intermediate grade, and high grade").
