Immunohistochemistry in Brain Tumor Classification

  • Chapter
Neuro-Oncology

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology ((DION,volume 66))

Abstract

Due to the complexity of its cellular composition and its topographical anatomy, no other organ can be affected by such a variety of different neoplasms as the central nervous system. Therefore, one of the most important developments in neuro-oncology was the formulation of a comprehensive and internationally accepted classification system, which provides a basis for the communication between neuropathologists and clinicians, working in clinical and basic neuro-oncology.
