Course Description 

This 2.5 day course is designed to provide up-to-date problem-solving 

information for practicing surgical pathologists through the use of didactic 

sessions, case presentations and discussion periods. The presentations 

will be organized into organ-based sessions, and will primarily focus on 

resolution of the most common diagnostic problems facing anatomical 

pathologists in routine practice. Participants will learn current classifications 

and diagnostic criteria for a variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic 

diseases. It is expected that participants will develop an insight into 

evolving concepts regarding pathogenesis of various diseases. 

Differential diagnoses will be discussed at length, and a practical and 

pragmatic approach to case evaluation will be emphasized. The faculty 

will integrate morphology with newer diagnostic tests, including 

immunohistochemistry and various molecular assays. Participants 

will learn about clinical features of various tumor entities along 

with pathological prognostic and predictive factors. Adequate time 

will be allowed for questions and answers. CME and SAM credits will be 

available for course registrants. Each registrant will receive a syllabus 

containing comprehensive course materials. 

Statement of Need 

The past few years have seen a tremendous increase in the variety 

and complexity of diseases encountered by surgical pathologists. 

Recent advances in molecular techniques have led to their widespread 

application to human disease, particularly with respect to the 

evaluation of malignancies. This course is designed to address problems 

that arise during pathologic evaluation of tissue samples, and provide 

pathologists with a framework for interpretation of both histologic 

patterns of disease and results of molecular analyses. 

Course Goals and Objectives 

It is intended that this Weill Cornell CME activity will lead to improved 

patient care. At the conclusion of this activity, participants should 

be able to: 

• Improve diagnostic skills in problematic aspects of anatomic 

pathology. 

• Identify, classify, and distinguish between benign, premalignant, 

and malignant lesions of different organs. 

• Apply ancillary tests to evaluation of non-neoplastic and 

neoplastic diseases. 

• Communicate results to clinicians effectively and learn to utilize 

clinical clues to diagnoses. 

Target Audience 

General surgical pathologists and pathologists-in-training.
