| This ASC Companion Meeting program will be presented in a unique format - We will bring forward unusual cases that were accurately diagnosed (homerun) or incorrectly diagnosed (strikeout) by our senior mentors and teachers in the field of cytopathology. The cases will be those that stand out in the minds of these experienced cytopathologists and could be gynecologic, non-gynecologic or fine needle aspiration/with or without core biopsies. Each case will be presented in the manner it was handled at the time of primary diagnosis; a discussion of any recent advances - diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic - for the entity being discussed will be included in the case presentation. We know from experience that participants often learn from and enjoy a case based format over a lecture, especially in late evening conferences. Our objective is to bring to the participants morphologic/clinical and scientific information related to the practice of cytopathology in a non-lecture format. |
