Some of the factors that affect prognosis include: The type of cancer and where it is in your body, The stage of the cancer, which refers to the size of the cancer and if it has spread to other parts of your body, The cancer’s grade, which refers to how abnormal the cancer cells look under a microscope. Grade provides clues about how quickly the cancer is likely to grow and spread, Certain traits of the cancer cells, Your age and how healthy you were before cancer, How you respond to treatment.
