The fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS), is the sixth version of the international standard for the classification of brain and spinal cord tumors. Building on the 2016 updated fourth edition and the work of the Consortium to Inform Molecular and Practical Approaches to CNS Tumor Taxonomy (cIMPACT-NOW), the 2021 fifth edition introduces major changes that advance the role of molecular diagnostics in CNS tumor classification.
