Mastering GU Tumor Classification and Reporting: Updates from the 5th Edition of the WHO Blue Book

The landscape of Genitourinary (GU) tumor classification, grading, and staging has undergone significant transformations in recent years, driven largely by the impact of molecular profiling on tumor taxonomy and classification. The role of histopathological classification in predicting prognosis and therapeutic response for cancer has become increasingly critical, thanks to precision medicine and targeted therapies.

The eagerly anticipated 5th edition of the WHO Blue Book on Tumors of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs is set to revolutionize the field, building upon the foundational changes introduced in the 4th edition published in 2016. This comprehensive revision, slated for release in spring 2022, promises to equip pathologists with the knowledge and tools necessary to generate accurate diagnoses and reports that meet contemporary patient management needs.
