This full day symposium is designed to provide updates in breast and gynecologic cancer pathology testing and diagnosis. It will integrate clinical, radiologic, molecular, and morphologic diagnosis of the most common cancers in the breast and the female genital system.
The goals of the symposium are to (1) improve the communication between the pathologist and the clinical practitioner who act upon the pathology reports; and to (2) improve the quality of pathology reports by using the updated classifications of tumors and applying the correct ancillary studies to reach an accurate diagnosis.
Target audience
Pathologists, GYN oncologists, OB/GYNs, breast and GYN surgeons, radiologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and other healthcare providers.
Education objectives
Following this program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss how to classify and categorize high-grade endometrial carcinomas.
- Describe how to classify and categorize breast atypical proliferative lesions.
- Recognize early precursors of high-grade adnexal tumors.
