OVERVIEW
Update in Pulmonary Pathology: Contemporary Classification and Diagnosis is organized by American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and would be held during May 12 - 14, 2016 at Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America. The targeted audience for this medical meeting basically for Pathologists, Pathology Residents, and Pathologists’ Assistants.
Following this course, you will be able to: • Apply modern classifications and diagnostic formulations in lung pathology. • Discuss and apply the new lung adenocarcinoma classification and describe which immunostains are useful in the histologic subtyping of lung carcinomas. • Apply improved skills in differentiating relatively uncommon or difficult-to-diagnose conditions. • Separate the various forms of interstitial lung disease and understand the clinical/radiologic corrections for these entities • Identify new entities in lung disease. • Apply enhanced diagnostic accuracy to improve quality assurance. • Apply molecular diagnostic techniques to thoracic tumors and determine when/what to order. • Identify and gain the information you need from clinicians and radiologist to ensure the accuracy of your diagnoses. • Effectively communicate to clinicians and radiologists the information they need to treat patients.
This course will provide you with practical approaches to diagnosis with a clear focus on the clinical information that’s so critical for quality patient management. A brief review of normal lung anatomy and common conditions will form the basis for discussions of more difficult and unusual diagnoses.
