The classification of childhood cancer is based on tumour morphology rather than, as for adults, the site of the tumour. This volume is an update of the previous classification of childhood cancer in the light of the second edition of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology and the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases. In this new classification of childhood cancer, the opportunity has been taken to introduce essential modifications, while keeping the new scheme as close to the original as possible.
The new classification appears under the auspices of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) and the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP).
Included with the publication is a diskette containing the program child check, software designed for the conversion of ICD-O-coded data to this new ICCC classification.
