A member asked:

How to differentiate between the stages of squamous cell carcinoma under the microscope?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cant stage: When one examines a biopsy under the microscope, the pathologist will grade the tumor into high and low grade lesions depending on loss of characteristic structure of the normal cell. Stage depends on clinical evaluation in terms of size and spread from the primary site.
