Adjacent tissue assessment: 0 = none; 1 = (minimal) < 20 cells/40 × HDF—changes barely perceptible; 2 = (mild) 21–100 cells/40 × HDF—changes present but involves a small amount of tissue; 3 = (moderate) 101–150 cells/40 × HDF—changes clearly visible and involves a significant proportion of the tissue; 4 = (marked) > 150 cells/40 × HDF—changes prominently visible and involves a major portion of the tissue
