Precise diagnosis, classification, and identification of prognostic indicators of hematologic neoplasms are essential components of proper patient management, which must involve a multidisciplinary process that integrates morphology, immunophenotyping, genetics, and directed molecular testing. Nationally recognized faculty will share their experiences and insights to provide you with a state-of-the-art update on the diagnosis, classification, and prognostication of problematic neoplasms. Practical approaches to real-life challenges will be highlighted throughout discussions of the:

  • Morphologic features and differential diagnoses in lymph nodes, bone marrow, and other tissues
  • Importance of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis
  • Most advantageous applications of immunophenotyping and genetic and molecular studies
  • 2008 revised WHO classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues

You will gain a wealth of information about recent developments in neoplastic hematopathology, along with indispensable guidance for accurate diagnoses of the common and unusual patient conditions that you may encounter.

Special Course Features!

  • Special video microscopy sessions
  • SAM credits (online pre- and post-course assessment required)

Following this course, you will be able to:

  • Devise an individual practice-based system for efficient and appropriate use of immunophenotyping, cytogenetics and molecular techniques in hematopathology.
  • Develop and apply a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and classification of hematopoietic neoplasms.
  • Apply the 2008 revised WHO classification of hematopoietic neoplasms.
  • Determine the differential diagnosis for specific lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms and apply a multidisciplinary approach to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

Core Competencies: PC, MK, PBL
Intended Audience: Pathologists, Hematopathologists, Oncologists, Pathology Residents
