(Medicine) (WHO Classification of Tumours Volume 4) 5th Edition
by WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board (Author)
Female Genital Tumours is the fourth 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.
