The WHO Classification of Tumours

Central Nervous System Tumours is the sixth 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’s 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.
