Brain Tumor Grades ?
Grades of Brain Tumors
Tumors are graded by how normal or abnormal the cells look. The doctor will use this measurement to help plan the patient's treatment. The grading also gives the patient an idea of how fast the tumor may grow and spread.
- Grade 1. The cells look nearly normal and grow slowly. Long-term survival is likely.
- Grade 2. The cells look slightly abnormal and grow slowly. The tumor may spread to nearby tissue and can recur later, maybe at a more life-threatening grade.
- Grade 3. The cells look abnormal and are actively growing into nearby brain tissue. These tumors tend to recur.
- Grade 4. The cells look most abnormal and grow and spread quickly.
Some tumors change. A benign one can turn malignant, and a lower-grade tumor may return at a higher grade.
