Contemporary Issues in Urologic Pathology

This course is critical for pathologists who want to enhance their skills in the diagnosis of urologic diseases. You’ll gain insights from the expert faculty regarding the most important microscopic features for reaching an accurate diagnosis, using ancillary techniques to the best advantage, making a confident diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma with limited tissues, grading papillary urothelial tumors, and more.

You’ll hear about changes in the 2010 AJCC/TNM staging system and recently developed consensus guidelines for reporting radical prostatectomy specimens, as well as revised CAP reporting guidelines for urologic tumors. You’ll learn about current application of Gleason grading, distinguishing patterns of seminoma from embryonal carcinoma, and classification of kidney tumors including newly recognized entities.

Following this course, you will be able to:

Diagnose common and uncommon pathologic conditions involving urologic organs.
Select and interpret commonly used ancillary tests that are helpful in the major differential diagnostic problems encountered in urologic pathology material.
Properly handle tumor-bearing specimens from urologic organs and prepare diagnostic reports that enable clinicians to optimally manage their patients.
Address areas of controversy in urologic pathology, using current expert thinking in a practical and pragmatic way.
