Standardization of tumor classifications is a prerequisite in facilitating international communication in cancer research. Standardized classifications are not meant to replace, or compete with, conceptual classifications. The World Health Organization's efforts in this field give consideration to definitions of tumour types, terminology, formats of categorization, and codes.
肿瘤分类的标准化是促进癌症研究国际交流的一个先决条件。标准化分类并非旨在取代概念性分类或与之竞争。世界卫生组织在这一领域的工作考虑了肿瘤类型的定义、术语、分类格式和编码。
