Multiplicity of Lung Tumour Classifications

  • Chapter
Current Problems in the Epidemiology of Cancer and Lymphomas

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 39))

Abstract

“Classification is fundamental to the quantitative study of any phenomenon. It is recognized as the basis of all scientific generalization and is therefore an essential element in statistical methodology. Uniform definitions and uniform systems of classification are prerequisites in the advancement of scientific knowledge.”1
