Course Description:
The WHO Classification of Tumors of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs and updates by the American Joint Committee on Cancer are reference points for this extraordinary interactive microscopy course that explicates emerging concepts in the context of these classification/staging systems. The superb faculty are internationally recognized for their expertise in urologic pathology; collaboration with one of the most experienced surgeons in the United States performing robot-assisted radical cystectomy and urinary diversion for patients with bladder cancer provides an open, practical dialogue between clinician and the pathologist course director. This is an intimate experience that will change how you think and perform.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
• Learn to recognize key diagnostic changes for several entities in urologic pathology
• Develop diagnostic criteria to recognize recently described entities in urologic pathology
• Gain an awareness of challenges and changes associated with staging in urologic pathology
• Learn techniques to enhance cross-disciplinary interaction with radiologists, urologists and oncologists

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