The new WHO classification of soft tissue and bone tumors extended the approach to describe genetics and pathology of these tumors in the context of epidemiological, clinical and imaging data. Added few entities, reclassifications and renaming’s. The most important point, also of clinical relevance and with consequences for treatment, is the introduction of stratification of bone tumors based on their biological behavior into three groups (benign, intermediate and malignant) in analogy to soft tissue tumors.

Stem cells in cancer etiology and treatment are essential for pathologists as well as oncologists. Basic but comprehensive discussion about cancer stem cells is presented here.

Wounds and healing require the contribution of many cytokines including IL-1 & 6. Their role and effects are discussed in this seminar.
