Description:Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are a dramatic health problem due to their high morbidity and mortality in all ages. In the pediatric population, brain tumors constitute the second most common cancer diagnosed worldwide each year, accounting for approximately 25% of childhood cancers. Although there has been a moderate increase in survival rates for children with CNS tumors over the past decades, CNS tumors remain the second leading cause of cancer death in children less than 20 years of age. The fifth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (WHO CNS5) was recently released. This builds on the 2016 WHO CNS tumor update, which for the first time incorporated molecular data with histology in classifying CNS tumors. The changes in the WHO CNS5 group tumors into more biologically and molecularly defined entities with better characterized natural histories, as well as introducing new tumor types and subtypes, especially in the pediatric population. Most importantly, these updated classifications will enable clinicians to have a better understanding of the prognosis and optimal therapy for patients with specific CNS tumors. Therefore, optimizing the treatment of childhood CNS tumors remains a tremendously challenging task, requiring a multidisciplinary approach involving many pediatric specialists as well as the support of molecular biologists and pharmacologists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
