Comprehensive Review of Lesions of Soft Tissue and Bone 2017
Speakers
OVERVIEW
Comprehensive Review of Lesions of Soft Tissue and Bone is organized by American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and would be held during Jun 15 - 17, 2017 at San Francisco Marriott Fishermans Wharf, San Francisco, California, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event are Practicing pathologist, Pathologists, Pathology Residents, and Cytotechnologits. This CME conference has been approved with 21.25 CME Credits.
Credits : 21.25 CME Credits, 8 SAM CME Credit.
Course Description:
Lesions of soft tissue and bone are often considered difficult by pathologists because of their relative rarity and extensive diversity of subtypes. Mesenchymal lesions are also associated with a range of different prognoses and patient treatment options ranging from a “do nothing” approach to major surgery and adjuvant chemo or radiation therapies. With sarcoma the stakes are high and the biopsy is often small. The mission of this course is to provide pathologists with a framework with which to approach the diagnoses of these challenging tumors.In this course the faculty will provide a comprehensive review of mesenchymal tumors of soft tissue and bone. In addition to morphologic features, the faculty will discuss how to incorporate immediately available resources (clinical information and imaging features) as well as ancillary tests (immunohistochemical, cytogenetic and molecular tests) into a paradigm to facilitate an accurate and precise diagnosis.
Following this course, you will be able to:
• Describe the key diagnostic features of specific soft tissue and bone lesions and differentiate morphologically similar neoplasms.
• Identify and apply appropriate molecular, cytogenetic and immunohistochemical techniques to support accurate diagnoses.
• Incorporate important clinical and imaging information to ensure a correct and precise diagnosis.
• Communicate key diagnostic information clearly and precisely in tumor boards, pathologic evaluations and reports.
• Discuss the clinical implications of specific diagnoses.
• Identify resources and potential practice changes to improve efficiency and effectiveness of sarcoma diagnoses.
