Overview
Classification
- International neuroblastoma pathology classification, a system based on the framework of Shimada classification with minor modifications is proposed for international use in classification of neuroblastic tumors. [1][2]
- It is a biologically relevant and pathologically significant classification system based on the morphologic features of neuroblastic tumors,i-e,neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma.
