| 7:00 | Commonly Encountered Difficulties in Pathology Staging of Lung Cancer - Douglas Flieder, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA |
| 7:40 | Clinical Problems in AJCC Lung Cancer Staging — What Do Clinicians Really Want to Know from the Pathology Report? - Daniel Miller, Emory University Medical Center, Atlanta, GA |
| 8:20 | Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma versus Adenocarcinoma — Does the Distinction Make a Difference? - Samuel Yousem, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA |
| Using input from members of the Society, suggestions from previous meetings evaluation forms, and the Program Committee, criteria for topic selection included the potential interest by pulmonary, as well as general, pathologists, need for update in a specific area due to publication of new classifications or significant new information, and consideration for other topics being presented at the USCAP meeting. A balance was sought between the presentation of practical as well as new scientific information. This topic will provide information on distinguishing between bronchioloalveolar carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified; knowing whether the distinction between the two has clinical relevance; knowing what pathologic factors are important in the assessment of lung cancer specimens and how to recognize them; knowing what elements are important for the complete reporting of cases of primary lung carcinoma. |
