Target Audience:
Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training.

CME / SAM: 9.0

Course Description:
Especially valuable to surgical pathologists and cytopathologists alike, the latest updates on noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) will help ensure that a subset of indolent thyroid tumors is managed more conservatively and spares patients the anxiety of a cancer diagnosis. The activity will help pathologists and cytopathologists minimize malignant diagnoses on cytology associated with a final diagnosis of NIFTP and identify potential NIFTPs in indeterminate aspirates to promote conservative surgical management.

Learning Objectives:
• Review bladder histology pertinent to diagnosis and stage of bladder cancer 
• Learn to diagnose papillary and flat urothelial neoplasia, glandular lesions, and variants of urothelial carcinoma 
• Learn to diagnose bladder tumor invasion and evaluate depth of invasion 
• Develop a morphology-based differential diagnosis of neoplastic diseases in renal biopsy 
• Understand the utility and limitation of immunohistochemical markers in the diagnosis of bladder and renal tumors

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
