WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system

The following is a simplified (deprecated) version of the last 2007 WHO classification of the tumours of the central nervous system. Currently, as of 2016, clinicians are using revised WHO grade 4th edition which incorporates recent advance in molecular pathology. The 4th revised edition, as the name implies, will soon be updated to catch up ever growing knowledge of this field.
