Anatomic Pathology Slide Seminar
Date: Sunday 8:30am-11:30am
Credits: 3 CME
SP61 A Pattern-Oriented Approach to Soft Tissue Tumors (NEW)
The capstone educational event of the ASCP Annual Meeting for more than seven decades, the Anatomic Pathology Slide Seminar is a “must attend” event for all practicing pathologists and residents. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to view primary materials and interact with a world-class expert in soft tissue pathology.
Take home valuable resources. You’ll receive a DVD of the Slide Seminar that includes all cases presented as digitized images, with navigational and magnification tools for viewing the slides as though you were using a conventional microscope. A syllabus with diagnoses, key references, and case discussions are also included on the DVD.
Dr. Goldblum, co-author of the world’s largest-selling text on soft tissue tumors and an internationally recognized authority and lecturer, will present this in-depth half-day session. He will review cases that represent the most common morphologic patterns encountered in soft tissue tumors, including: well-differentiated lipomatous tumors, reactive myofibroblastic proliferations, myxoid neoplasms, highly cellular spindle cell tumors, fibrohistiocytic tumors, and round cell tumors.
You’ll come away from the slide seminar with new confidence in distinguishing these tumors from one another and new knowledge about recent and useful immunohistochemical markers used in their analysis. Just as important, Dr. Goldblum will discuss the use of molecular genetic techniques in the analysis of soft tissue tumors and their utility in diagnosis and prognosis.
*Slides scanned by Aperio technology in virtual ScanScope format.
Following the Seminar, you will be able to:
- Approach a soft tissue tumor with a particular morphologic pattern
- Arrive at a meaningful diagnosis by integrating immunohistochemical results with clinical and histologic data
- Integrate molecular techniques in the analysis of a challenging soft tissue tumor
Dr. John R. Goldblum has presented a short course on soft tissue pathology for the ASCP for more than 13 years. He has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed articles, mostly in the areas of soft tissue and gastrointestinal pathology and served as co-author of Enzinger and Weiss’s Soft Tissue Tumors. He also served as co-editor of Surgical Pathology of the GI Tract, Liver, Biliary Tract and Pancreas and serves as senior editor of Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology, a series of books on surgical pathology and cytopathology.
