35 Challenges in Gynecologic and Obstetric Pathology: The 17th Annual Tutorial in Gynecologic and Obstetric Pathology.  Boston, MA. October 23-24, 2010

The objective of this tutorial, offered by the Division of Women's and Perinatal Pathology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, is to provide a comprehensive review of problematic areas of obstetric and gynecologic pathology. Endometrial Pathology is covered, including talks by dr. Mutter . At the conclusion of this program, the participant should be able to identify 1) the problematic aspects to histopathologic diagnosis of obstetrical and gynecologic precursors, 2) distinction of benign and malignant epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasms, 3) the full range of ancillary studies available to address these problems, and 4) specific limitations of these new technologies. The course combines classroom lecture, high quality microscopic screen projection and discussion of over 100 challenging cases and an interactive post-test with audience participation. Topics include a wide range of challenges encountered in gynecologic and obstetric practice in the diagnosis of early malignancy, epithelial, mesenchymal and trophoblastic neoplasia, borderline and malignant pelvic epithelial neoplasia, and use of special stains and biomarkers. The course is relevant to any pathologist or clinician interested in female genital tract pathology and the detection of gynecologic cancer.  Check the Harvard Medical School Office of Continuing Medical Education for details.
 

Frontiers in Oncology: Endometrial Carcinogenesis.  U. Maryland Medical Center, HSFII Auditorium, Baltimore, MD, November 17, 2010
