Histopathologic grading of adenoid cystic carcinomas can provide valuable prognostic information, particularly when the presence or absence of a solid growth architecture is noted. Other growth patterns, exemplified by a tubuloductal or cribriform-cylindromatous differentiation, are associated with a more protracted biologic course and less rapid mortality. A three-tiered grading system based on the three growth patterns of the carcinoma is presented.
腺样囊性癌的组织病理学分级可提供有价值的预后信息，尤其是当注意到实性生长结构的有无时。以管状导管或筛状圆柱瘤样分化为代表的其他生长模式，与更长的生物学病程和更低的快速死亡率相关。本文提出了一种基于癌的三种生长模式的三级分级系统。
