WHO Classification of Tumours

The WHO Classification of Tumours is a globally recognized system used by medical professionals to categorize different types of cancers based on their appearance, characteristics, and how they grow. It helps doctors understand how aggressive a tumor is and guides treatment options. This classification considers cellular features, genetic information, and behavior of the tumor, ensuring consistent diagnoses worldwide. In essence, it’s a detailed, standardized way for clinicians to identify and compare tumors, improving accuracy in diagnosis, prognosis, and patient care.
