Thoracic Tumours
is the fifth available volume in the fifth 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 fifth edition, guided by the WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial
Board, establishes 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.
