2013 Cytopathology Update: A Practical Approach to Diagnostic Issues

The terminology and nomenclature in clinical cytopathology is continuously evolving. Additionally, new ancillary tests and molecular markers supplementing morphologic diagnoses as well as therapeutic approaches are periodically introduced. Discussion will focus on the major areas of diagnostic cytopathology and will involve using The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology. The latest revisions regarding the reporting of gynecologic and nongynecologic cytology as well as new guidelines for HPV and PAP tests will also be adequately covered. The role of Interventional Radiology and their interaction with the cytopathologist will be highlighted with a lecture/workshop by Radiology faculty.
