Dr Ian Cree introduces the fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours series

In a new video from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Dr Ian Cree, Head of the WHO Classification of Tumours Group, introduces the first volume (Digestive System Tumours) of the fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours series. He also explains some of the changes that have been made to the format of the books for this new edition.

This WHO series on the classification of human tumours (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.
