| The objective of this symposia is to provide practical knowledge in molecular testing of cancer that is applicable to surgical pathology practices. Current advances in molecular pathology are changign the practice of pathology and pathologists need to know what molecular tools are available to help in diagnosis and classification of cancer, when molecular tests may be useful, and how to order and interpret these tests. Topics were chosen based on recent developments in molecular diagnostics that have the potential to affect the practice of surgical pathology or that are already changing practice. |
