The stage of a cancer is a term used to describe its size and whether it has spread beyond its original site. The stages of endometrial cancer are described below. Grading refers to the appearance of the cancer cells under the microscope. The grade gives an idea of how quickly the cancer may develop.
Low grade means that the cancer cells look very like normal endometrial cells.
They are usually slowly growing and less likely to spread. In high grade tumours the cells look very abnormal. They are likely to grow more quickly and are more likely to spread. All rights reserved. Readers are strongly advised to discuss the information with their doctor.
