Paediatric Tumours is Volume 7 in the 5th 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.
The 5th 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 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. This book is indispensable for Pathologist, Oncologist,
Radiologist, Surgeons, Oncology Nurses, Cancer Researchers, Epidemiologist, Cancer Registrars etc.

This double volume is prepared by 413 authors and editors from around the world which contain more than 2400 high-
quality images and more than 7800 references.
