WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System is the revised fourth edition of the WHO series on histological and genetic typing of human tumors. This authoritative, concise reference book provides an international standard for oncologists and pathologists and will serve as an indispensable guide for use in the design of studies monitoring response to therapy and clinical outcome. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features, and associated genetic alterations are described in a disease-oriented manner. Sections on all recognized neoplasms and their variants include new ICD-O codes, epidemiology, clinical features, macroscopy, pathology, genetics, and prognosis and predictive factors. The book, prepared by 122 authors from 19 countries, contains more than 800 color images and tables, and more than 2800 references. This book is in the series commonly referred to as the "Blue Book" series. Review: Essential for neuropathologists, of course. But I would ... - Essential for neuropathologists, of course. But I would advise NOT buying this edition as an updated edition is slated to come out in the Spring of 2016. Hold on to your money and buy the new one, which will have several updates such as latest classification of medulloblastomas, inclusion of RELA fusion ependymoma, and so on. Review: A great investment for any research library - This is a fantastic and informative book that will benefit a wide audience. Each tumor has its own dedicated section that are in turn broken up into easy to digest subsections including (but not limited to) general overview, WHO classification, pathology, genetic markers and prognosis. In this way, each individual audience has access to the information specific to them - as an example, I am CEO of a scientific research company and the subsections about pathology and mode of spread for a tumor is of particular interest to me, whereas I can happily skip the genetics subsection and it won't affect my work. This book is expensive but well worth it and it is a very sound investment.

Must-have new reference
Long-awaited, this revision of the 2007 WHO Classification for central nervous system tumors is the new essential guide to diagnosis, incorporating for the first time in tumor neuropathology extensive reliance on molecular genetic information as well as standard histopathology. All of us in the field must have this book, it codifies our common language for dealing with patients with these tumors, whether we are neuropathologists, other pathologists, neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, or CNS tumor research scientists.

これまでの分類ではついていけない・・・そう思わせる一冊です。 これに沿って発表やpaperが増えている事を考えると、無視出来ないと思います。
