This online CME course in molecular pathology – part of our Masters of Pathology Series – is extremely thorough, covering a range of hot topics and core concepts in the field aiming to facilitate detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Practical Molecular Pathology for the Surgical Pathologist, directed by Jason L. Hornick, MD, PhD, focuses on the latest molecular techniques, recently identified molecular genetic alterations in cancer, tissue triaging for molecular testing and more. It’s continuing medical education that will help you to better:
- Identify molecular genetic alteration in a broad range of cancer types
- Understand the implications of molecular genetic testing results for cancer therapy
- Apply immunohistochemistry based on molecular genetic changes to classify tumors
- Chemistry based on molecular genetic changes to classify tumors
- Interpret the results and implications of PD-L1 immunohistochemistry and mismatch repair protein assessments
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Recognize the most common molecular genetic alterations in a wide range of cancer types
- Understand the implications of molecular genetic testing results for cancer therapy
- Apply immunohistochemistry based on molecular genetic alterations to help in tumor classification
- Interpret the results and implications of PD-L1 immunohistochemistry and mismatch repair protein assessments
Intended Audience
Pathology residents and practicing pathologists without formal molecular pathology training/fellowship.
