- WHO 2010 proposes grading as below, but overally survival is very poor
| Grade | Differentiation | Mucin | Mitoses / HPF | Nuclear Cytology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Well differentiated | Abundant | ≤5 | Little polymorphism, polarity preserved |
| 2 | Moderately differentiated, foci of poorly formed glands | Decreased |
6-10 | Moderate polymorphism |
| 3 | Poorly differentiated, small irregular glands and single cell infiltration | Scant | >10 | Marked pleomorphism |
- Staging
- Use TNM
