| 7:00 | WHO Book on the Pathology and Genetics of Head and Neck Tumors — What's New - E. Leon Barnes, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA |
| 7:30 | Anatomy, Types of Dissection, Orientation, and Staging - Sigrid Wayne, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA |
| 8:00 | Pathology of Neck Dissections - Mario A. Luna, M.D. Anderson Hospital, Houston, TX |
| 8:30 | Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An Update and Clinical Significance of Micrometastasis - Jennifer L. Hunt, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA |
| The status of regional lymph nodes in head and neck cancer patients is the single most important prognostic feature. It is essential that pathologists know the anatomy of the head and neck, what histologic variables (such as extracapsular spread) impact on prognosis, and how to construct a meaningful surgical pathology report on neck dissections. The Society has not previously addressed this topic and thus it was chosen for this year. |
