TL;DR: The fourth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumours of the central nervous system, published in 2007, lists several new entities, including angiocentric glioma, papillary glioneuronal tumour, rosette-forming glioneurs tumour of the fourth ventricle, Papillary tumourof the pineal region, pituicytoma and spindle cell oncocytoma of the adenohypophysis.

TL;DR: The 2016 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System is both a conceptual and practical advance over its 2007 predecessor and is hoped that it will facilitate clinical, experimental and epidemiological studies that will lead to improvements in the lives of patients with brain tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thomas J. Lynch,Daphne W. Bell,Raffaella Sordella,Sarada Gurubhagavatula,Ross A. Okimoto,Brian W. Brannigan,Patricia L. Harris,Sara M. Haserlat,Jeffrey G. Supko,Frank G. Haluska,David N. Louis,David C. Christiani,Jeff Settleman,Daniel A. Haber +13 more
TL;DR: A subgroup of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer have specific mutations in the EGFR gene which correlate with clinical responsiveness to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib, and these mutations lead to increased growth factor signaling and confer susceptibility to the inhibitor.
Book
WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system
TL;DR: The current edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System will serve as an indispensable textbook for all of those involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with tumors of the CNS, and will make a valuable addition to libraries in pathology, radiology, oncology, and neurosurgery departments.
