Abstract
The fifth edition of the WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system (WHO CNS5) was published in 2021 which is the sixth version of the international standard for the diagnostics of CNS tumors. Regular updates of the consortium to inform molecular and practical approaches to CNS tumor taxonomy (cIMPACT-NOW) shaped the WHO CNS5 which continues the trend of incorporating the molecular characteristics of tumors into the histological and immunohistochemical findings. The various updates can be classified into general changes across all tumors and specific changes within the tumor groups. This mini-review highlights the general changes and the major changes in adult diffuse gliomas.
期刊介绍:
The Annals of African Medicine is published by the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, Nigeria and the Annals of African Medicine Society. The Journal is intended to serve as a medium for the publication of research findings in the broad field of Medicine in Africa and other developing countries, and elsewhere which have relevance to Africa. It will serve as a source of information on the state of the art of Medicine in Africa, for continuing education for doctors in Africa and other developing countries, and also for the publication of meetings and conferences. The journal will publish articles I any field of Medicine and other fields which have relevance or implications for Medicine.
