Histopathologic Grading

Notes

**Note 1:** Histologic grading is used to distinguish between IVA and IVB anatomic stage/prognostic groups. It is of particular importance for mucinous carcinomas (morphology codes 8480, 8481, and 8490). **Note 2:** Select the code for the highest grade from the primary tumor tissue as described on the pathology report prior to neoadjuvant treatment. **Note 3:** The term "undifferentiated" should not apply to mucinous tumors because a tumor that makes mucin is, by definition, differentiated into mucin-producing tumor cells.
