The selected cases will cover a variety of conditions commonly encountered in daily practice. Additionally, the faculty will share insights on nomenclature, classification, staging, histological, immunohistochemical features, and the potential applications of molecular techniques. The specialties discussed will include breast, bone and soft tissue, thoracic, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and gynecological pathology. Discussions will focus on case-based presentations.

Learning Objectives:

To provide current nomenclature of different tumors by organ system.

To provide current staging systems in tumor pathology.
To provide current information of the role of molecular diagnostics.
To share experiences with difficult and controversial cases.

Course Schedule:
During the 30-minute Slide Preview session, glass slides are reviewed at the individual microscopes. Participants receive 90 seconds to preview the slide, and then it is passed to the next attendee. Each slide preview session has up to 18 cases. After the Slide Preview, attendees move from the individual microscopes to the multiheaded teaching microscope to start the Case Discussion.
