Current Trends in Neuropathology

The field of neuropathology has rapidly evolved over the past decade, largely due to the wealth of information generated by modern molecular technologies. The discovery of characteristic genomic alterations for a wide spectrum of neoplasms arising within the central nervous system has revolutionized the diagnostic approach to tumor classification, leading to the incorporation of widespread molecular definitions in the recent 2016 World Health Organization update. As our knowledge of tumor biology continues to grow, so will our need to carefully integrate new findings with traditional histopathologic evaluation.
