The WHO classification of bone tumors

The WHO classification of bone tumors

H A Sissons. Recent Results Cancer Res. 1976.

Abstract

The WHO scheme of classification of bone tumors is based on histologic criteria. It simply lists the main types of primary bone tumors; knowledge of histogenesis or of tumor origin is implied only for certain groups of lesions. This international agreement on nomenclature and classification of bone tumors would greatly aid comparative population studies on bone tumors in different parts of the world.
