Grade is one of the many factors that helps determine how aggressive a given cancer is. Poorly differentiated colon cancers tend to be more aggressive than well or moderately differentiated colon cancers and if present in a polyp an operation performed by a surgeon may be recommended to make sure that the tumor has not spread outside of the colon. You should discuss therapy options with your treating doctor to see what is best for you.
