WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System

The WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System is a system doctors use to identify and categorize brain and spinal cord tumors based on their appearance and behavior under the microscope. It helps determine how aggressive the tumor is and guides treatment. Tumors are classified into different groups, such as benign (slow-growing) or malignant (fast-growing), and are assigned grades to reflect their severity. This standardized system ensures consistent diagnosis worldwide, aiding in research, treatment planning, and predicting patient outcomes.
