WHO Classification of Tumours of Digestive System Tumour-5판

Description

Digestive System Tumours is the first volume in the 5th edition of the WHO series on the classification of human
tumours. This series (also known as the WHO Blue Books) is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of
tumours and comprises a unique synthesis of histopathological diagnosis with digital and molecular pathology.

These authoritative and concise reference books provide indispensable international standards for anyone involved in
the care of patients with cancer or in cancer research, underpinning individual patient treatment as well as research
into all aspects of cancer causation, prevention, therapy, and education.

What is new in this edition?
The 5th edition, guided by the WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board, will establish a single coherent cancer
classification presented across a collection of individual volumes organized on the basis of anatomical site
(digestive system, breast, soft tissue and bone, etc.) and structured in a systematic manner, with each tumour type
listed within a taxonomic classification: site, category, family (class), type, and subtype. In each volume,
the entities are now listed from benign to malignant and are described under an updated set of headings, including
histopathology, diagnostic molecular pathology, staging, and easy-to-read essential and desirable diagnostic criteria.
