As a practicing academic or community pathologist, it is important to stay up-to-date on the evolving field of urologic tumor pathology. Accurate diagnoses, grading, and staging of genitourinary tumors are essential for determining adequate treatment strategies and outcomes. With the recently published 8th edition of the AJCC staging manual, updates and practice guidelines on prostate, bladder, testis, penile, and kidney pathology, and the upcoming WHO Blue Book on Urinary and Male Genital Tumors, there has never been a more critical time to have access to the most current information in uropathology.
That’s where the newly released program comes in. This educational activity is designed to help you correctly identify lesions and compile pathology reports, including all the elements necessary for appropriate patient management. The program covers the most recent developments in uropathology, stemming from recent consensus conferences, practice guidelines, and updates to existing knowledge.
The target audience for this educational activity is practicing academic and community pathologists, as well as pathologists-in-training. By completing this course, learners will be able to distinguish benign mimickers from neoplastic processes, review strategies and useful tips for diagnosing difficult urologic lesions, correctly apply current grading and staging criteria for urologic tumors, and recognize emerging urologic tumor entities with important clinical implications.
