This second edition updates the "WHO Classification of Endocrine Tumours" proposed in 1980 and incorporates many new tumour entities and pertinent concepts that have developed since that time. It is the result of a collaborative effort between 9 pathologists from different countries, in addition to informal contributions and discussions by many other colleagues. In particular, efforts have been made to integrate into the fundamental backbone of the histologic classification a number of prognostic and functional parameters now essential for appropriate diagnosis and clinicopathologic evaluation of endocrine tumours.
The WHO Classification of Tumours of Endocrine Organs is the 10th volume in the 4th Edition of the WHO series on histological and genetic typing of human tumours. This authoritative, concise reference provides an international standard for oncologists and pathologists and will serve as an indispensable guide for use in the design of studies evaluating response to therapy and clinical outcome. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features, and associated genetic alterations are described in a disease-oriented manner. Sections on all recognized neoplasms and their variants include new ICD-O codes, epidemiology, clinical features, pathology, genetics, prognosis, and predictive factors. The book, prepared by 166 authors from 25 countries, contains more than 700 color images and tables and more than 3100 references.
The classification of tumors is important for understanding tumor histogenesis, for predicting prognosis, for differential diagnosis, and for recommending appropriate therapy. Since 1836, when pancreatic cancer was first described, progress has been made in pancreatic cancer morphology, and a number of classifications have been proposed. All of these classifications are mainly based on morphological characteristics. Some are too detailed to be of practical use while others are more pragmatic. Some of the inherent problems in the previous classifications included difficulties in obtaining an adequate number of pan creatic tumors for examination and insufficient clinical data and follow-up.

Gastrointestinal Oncology is an expanding field with important medical, scientific, socio-political and ethical challenges. In the last few years, the discipline has undergone changes in our knowledge of tumour biology, diagnosis and treatment. The rate of progress in some gastrointestinal malignancies as oesophageal adenocarcinoma or malignancies of the rectum is dramatic, in other malignancies as pancreatic carcinoma or not. It is generally accepted that the management of these tumours deserves a multidisciplinary approach. Our current understanding of the management of these tumours is the specific focus of this two-day interdisciplinary Postgraduate Course.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
This publication, which is wholly dedicated to pancreatic cancer, presents an overview on all important aspects of the disease. The topics of the reviews range from epidemiology, pathology, imaging, surgery and palliative treatment to the prevention of pancreatic cancer. The original paper presents the illuminating results from a study which investigated the factors and laboratory parameters determining survival in pancreatic carcinoma as well as the possibility of using this specific data as prognostic parameters for an early diagnosis of the disease. Professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer will appreciate this compact educational update.
