High grade... - newbie
Posted: Apr 18, 2010
I'm having a TIA, I think. This sentence is "....68-year-old woman with a high-grade leiomyosarcoma..." Should there be a hyphen in "high grade" or not? I've totally thought about this too much and I can't remember when you do and don't use the hyphen. Please help!!
Thanks!
Yes to the hyphen - sm
[ In Reply To ..]It is modifying leiomyosarcoma, so it does get hyphied.
agree with - hyphen
