encapsulated - within a capsule (I'll need context to work out what it means in your case)
highly differentiated - cells undergo differentiation, so basically that means they change type. Terminal differentiation is what happens to the cell just before it dies, so chemo might cause terminal differentiation of a cell, ie it makes it die. Differentiation also occurs when cancer becomes malignant, they differentiate/change into a malignant cell type.
Poorly differentiated is the opposite, it is still a lot like its original cell type.
So basically poorly differentiated = similar to the original cell, highly differentiated = very different to the normal cell
A poorly differentiated cell will have a similar characteristics to a normal cell, a highly differentiated cell will behave very differently to a normal cell, basically its become a different type of cell.
When cells differentiate they can respond or not respond to different stimuli/treatments and the like and thats why its an issue with cancer treatments. Poorly differentiated cells are also usually the most aggressive types of cancer. It gets confusing and to be honest i can't explain it very well at the moment, too busy to really put too much thought into it.
