[b][size="2"]General Information[/size][/b]
[size="2"]The sheer volume of pathologic entities that one can encounter in the head and neck – from unique epithelial, mesenchymal, and hematolymphoid neoplasms to non-neoplastic entities – makes this one of the most daunting areas of surgical pathology. Other challenges include the need to integrate clinical, radiographic, immunohistochemical and even nucleic acid based molecular testing to arrive at the appropriate diagnosis. This comprehensive four-day Course will provide the guidance you need to streamline your approach to any given lesion. [/size]
[size="2"]A nationally recognized faculty with extensive experience as members of large consultation practices will share their insights about problems that often lead to the need for diagnostic consultation. You will be carefully guided through:[/size][list]
[*]
[size="2"]Appropriate integration of clinical, radiographic, immunohistochemical and molecular data for improved categorization and stratification of head and neck tumors[/size]
[*]
[size="2"]Accurate interpretation of laryngeal biopsies[/size]
[*]
[size="2"]Classification of salivary gland tumors and odontogenic lesions[/size]
[*]
[size="2"]The distinguishing features of various thyroid and parathyroid tumors and tumor-like lesions[/size]
[/list]
[size="2"]The course will center around a case study format with focus on histologic features that impact patient management and prognosis. Informal discussion with the faculty is welcome.[/size]
