@cheriels FIGO is an abbreviation for The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. The pathologist looks at your cells that were from your initial biopsy under a microscope and then describes what the cancer cells according to what they look like. Your pathology report assigned Grade 3. You can read about it here.
