The TNM staging system may be a better predictor of prognosis than tumor grade, though both are strongly predictive of survival.

In most cancers reduced levels of nuclear p27 are correlated with increased tumor size, increased tumor grade, and a higher propensity for metastasis.

It is unclear whether stage, tumor grade, race, and age hold up as prognostic factors in studies utilizing chemoradiation.
