There are six levels.
There are three levels of surgical pathology in CPT (Current Procedural Terminology): Level I (simple examination), Level II (intermediate examination), and Level III (complex examination). Each level corresponds to the complexity of the pathology services provided by the pathologist.
The American Journal of Surgical Pathology was created in 1977.

Level III in surgical pathology refers to the degree of invasion of cancer into surrounding tissues, particularly in the context of breast cancer. It indicates that the tumor has invaded beyond the immediate tissue into adjacent structures, which may have implications for staging and treatment planning. This level of invasion suggests a more advanced disease compared to lower levels, necessitating careful evaluation and management.
