Digestive System Tumours is the first volume in the fifth edition of the WHO series on the classification of human tumors. This series (the WHO Blue Books) is the gold standard for diagnosing tumors 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 and research into all aspects of cancer causation, prevention, therapy, and education.
What is new in this edition?
The fifth 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 based on anatomical site (digestive system, breast, soft tissue and bone, etc.) and structured systematically, with each tumor type listed within a taxonomic classification: site, category, family (class), type, and subtype. In each volume, the entities are listed from benign to malignant. They are described under an updated heading, including histopathology, diagnostic molecular pathology, staging, and easy-to-read essential and desirable diagnostic criteria.
