@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.

Here is another Mayo Clinic Connect discussion that mentions FIGO stage and surgery.

Does this help? What other questions do you have?
