WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System [OP] Revised Fourth Edition

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.

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.

Cumple mis expectativas

Excellent product, it came right on time and it is an essencial product for any neuro-oncology fellow.

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.

The best neuropathology book.

Thank you.

I order this book from Brazil. And as always, it arrived on time. I'm really satisfied.

Required reading for residents.

Como todo fascículo da WHO é um livro atualizado e de utilidade prática na rotina diária. Muito bom. TEM que ter!!

E' un volume fondamentale per un neuropatologo ed un neurooncologo. per tenersi aggiornato in campo sia pratico che nella ricerca.

Good

Para patólogos que se dediquen a la patología tumoral del SNC es imprescindible dada la nueva clasificación de la WHO 2016
