World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours

The World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours is a system used by medical professionals to categorize different types of tumors based on their characteristics, such as their appearance under a microscope, their genetic features, and how they behave in the body. This classification helps doctors diagnose cancers accurately, determine treatment options, and predict patient outcomes. By grouping tumors into specific types, the WHO provides a standardized language for researchers and clinicians to communicate and advance cancer research and therapy effectively.
