Abstract

The 5th edition of World Health Organization (WHO) Central Nervous System (CNS) tumours classification has transformed the pathological diagnosis of gliomas from purely histological to the multilayered integrated one with molecular biomarkers necessary for proper classification, risk stratification, and prognostic-predictive clinical purposes. Because of deep and important changes in taxonomy and diagnostic approach to gliomas, this manuscript is a review of WHO CNS classification 5th edition with general testing guidance for pathologists and clinicians working in neuro-oncology.
