Grade describes how abnormal the cancer cells look under the microscope; stage describes how far the cancer has grown and spread.
Grading, per the Wikipedia article, is a pathologist's measure of how much the tumour cells resemble the normal tissue they came from (differentiation), from low grade to high grade. Staging is the separate process of determining the extent of growth and spread, usually as a number from I to IV built from tumour size, invasion, lymph nodes and metastasis. Both are routine clinical covariates in prognostic models, and models that mix them up mis-state what they predict.
