What does high grade tumor mean

[DigitalExplorer]

I'm hoping to get some help from other forum users here. I'm looking for some information about high grade tumors. I understand that they are aggressive, but I'm not really sure what that means. Does anyone have any experience with high grade tumors or know what it means to have a high grade tumor? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

High grade tumor is a term used to describe a type of cancer that is aggressive and grows quickly. It is also referred to as a "grade 3 tumor" or "grade 4 tumor," depending on the specific type. The grade of a tumor is determined by a pathologist, who uses a microscope to examine the cells and determine how abnormal they are. Tumors that are high grade tend to have cells that are more abnormal and grow more quickly than low grade tumors. High grade tumors are also more likely to spread and become more difficult to treat. Treatment for high grade tumors typically includes surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy.
