Pathology Update provides a state-of-the-art overview of surgical
pathology, taking you beyond the H&E to provide the latest
knowledge about staging and tumor classification, prognostic
factors, immunohistochemical profiles and molecular markers,
important clinical trials, and novel therapeutic approaches. By
incorporating timely molecular information into the in-depth
discussion of morphology and immunohistochemical workup, the
course will help you apply current concepts to your practice of
surgical pathology.
The value of the course comes directly from the expertise of the
presenters and the practical insights they provide for your day-today
practice. The faculty, all experts in their fields, will
cover topics that include immunohistochemistry do’s and
don’ts, principles of molecular testing, controversial criteria
for differentiating benign from malignant diseases, and current
approaches to recognizing preneoplastic changes. Even if you
have taken this course before, it’s worth coming back for fresh
information and new ideas!
