Grade | Definition |
---|---|
Grade 0 | No response |
Grade 1 | Minimal response (dominant tumor mass with obvious fibrosis, vasculopathy) |
Grade 2 | Moderate response (dominant fibrotic changes with a few easy-to-find tumor cells or groups) |
Grade 3 | Near complete response (few microscopically difficult-to-find tumor cells in fibrotic tissue with or without mucous substance) |
Grade 4 | Complete response (no tumor cells, only fibrotic mass or acellular mucin pools) |
