What is the significance of MSK Virtual Klaus Mayer Symposium in Laboratory Medicine - Laboratory Test Results: Fact or Fiction, Interpretation of Common Laboratory Tests Results?

Course Overview:
The interpretation of laboratory tests is usually more complex than simply corresponding patient results to published reference ranges. Misinterpretation of laboratory test results can lead to late and even inappropriate patient care, as well as wasted resources. This webcast will address the interpretation of frequently ordered and often misunderstood laboratory tests in the areas of Cellular Hematology, Cellular Immunology, Coagulation, Clinical Chemistry, and Microbiology. 

This symposium honors the service of Klaus Mayer, MD Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and his distinguished leadership, promoting research, service, and teaching Laboratory Medicine. 

Objectives:
• Consider the relevant use of common laboratory tests in a cancer care setting 
• Analyze the frequently ordered clinical laboratory test results in cancer patients
• Present examples of preanalytical and analytical interferences that impact laboratory test interpretation in cancer patients
