Abstract
From a historical perspective, histological grading was the earliest cell-based method for assessing tumor biology and the prognosis of breast cancer. This review article provides detailed and practical instructions for grading of breast cancer in routine diagnostics. Furthermore, the increasing relevance of precise histological grading in the era of molecular pathology is discussed.Entities:
