Invasive Tumor Detection (PDS) [0]
Course sponsor: Visiopharm
Biomarkers used for diagnosing breast cancer are often observed to be differently expressed within non-invasive tumor structures, such as ductal carcinoma in situ, compared to invasive tumor structures. Thus, if no discrimination between invasive and non-invasive cancer is made results will be biased. To assist pathologists in the assessment of breast tissue slides Visiopharm has developed a novel image analysis application for invasive tumor detection. Join us for this webinar to gain insights into how a discrimination between invasive and non-invasive tumor is possible, and how this can increase the diagnostic confidence when assessing breast tissue slides.   Contact hours - 1.00

Molecular Diagnostics in Cytopathology: Opportunities, Limitations and Pitfalls [Cme, Sam, Cmle]
Course sponsor: American Society of Cytopathology (ASC)
Molecular diagnostics is increasingly being utilized to help guide targeted therapy in solid organ tumors. Cytopathologists are at the forefront of triaging specimens during rapid on-site evaluation and selecting specimens for ancillary testing. Therefore, it is imperative that practicing cytopathologists stay abreast of up-to-date diagnostic and prognostic ancillary tests utilizing limited cytologic material. This presentation will focus on cytologic substrates for ancillary studies, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each, to help the participants triage and devise optimal strategies for ancillary testing in their own practices.   Contact hours - 1.00

Non-Small Cell Carcinoma Biomarker Testing: The Cytopathologist’s Viewpoint [0]
Course sponsor: American Society of Cytopathology (ASC)
Many decisions about treatment in lung cancer are made on the basis of specific molecular and protein expression. This webinar is designed to give practicing cytopathologists a general introduction to the targeted therapy testing required for non-small cell lung carcinomas as well as a strategy to maximize limited specimens for several rounds of testing. In this course we will review the pre-analytical factors in specimen collection, from EBUS to biopsy to resection, and consider how specimen collection can affect testing. Finally, we will discuss several case examples alongside the targeted therapy testing followup and consider how to integrate targeted therapy testing into the cytopathologist’s immediate assessment workflow.   Contact hours - 1.00

Vitamin C: A Basic Treatment for all Pathology [0]
Course sponsor: American Academy for Oral Systemic Health
Course Description: The webinar will aim to discuss increased oxidative stress, especially intracellularly, as the final common denominator in both the etiology and progression of all chronic diseases. The role of toxins as pro-oxidants, along with the counteracting roles of antioxidants such as vitamin C, will be discussed. It will be pointed out that all diseases, because of their common etiology of increased oxidative stress, rapidly consume whatever stores/amounts of vitamin C are present in the body. As such, a solid case will be made for at least clinically viewing all diseases as variable degrees of focal, and sometimes generalized, scurvy to a greater or lesser extent. The nuances of vitamin C dosing and administration, either alone or in conjunction with a more involved clinical protocol, will be discussed. Guidelines on minimal general supplementation will also be presented. Learning Objectives To appreciate the role of increased oxidative stress in all disease processes To understand the essential role of vitamin C and other antioxidants in regaining or maintaining optimal health To understand some of the best ways to reach an optimal redox (reduction/oxidation) balance in the body   Contact hours - 1.00
