Course Description
As major subspecialty practices, diagnostic breast and gynecological pathology involves a large number of disease entities and often complex histological variants. Recent developments, particularly molecular genetic discoveries, have introduced new and reclassified entities as well as refined diagnostic criteria for many existing disease processes, calling for a knowledge update for practicing pathologists. While providing comprehensive coverage, the systematic review course emphasizes knowledge acquisitions in morphologic recognition and using ancillary immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic studies in the most challenging areas, particularly new disease classifications/diagnostic criteria.

This course is a collaboration between the Chinese American Pathologists Association (CAPA) and USCAP.

This course offers digital slides for each case presented. You can view the case history and whole slide image (WSI) as unknowns by selecting Pre-session Slide Preview, or you can refer to the slides as you watch each video.
Target Audience

Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

  • Recognize updated diagnostic criteria and disease classifications in breast and gynecological pathology.
  • Recognize unusual but important breast and gynecological disease entities.
  • Apply immunohistochemical and molecular genetic ancillary studies for diagnosis and differential diagnoses.
  • Understand the clinical implications when applying new diagnostic knowledge.
