The ASC complies with ACGME requirements necessary for the granting of continuing medical education credits. The ASC and PSC solicited topics of interest from their membership at the 2008 Annual Meeting. Several potential topics were discussed by the two Executive Boards and the topic for the 2020 session was chosen in agreement with the chairs of the both scientific program committees. Improving the current practice of thyroid FNA cytology is of high interest to ASC & PSC membership and is currently cited as an important and the most discussed topic in cytopathology and endocrine pathology. The ASC and PSC membership are focused on the dissemination of best practices to improve quality of thyroid FNA specimens, reporting and management guidelines and exploring the role of various ancillary techniques that may prove beneficial to the cytopathologist and patient
The purpose and objectives of the program are as follows:
1) Provide an update on the philosophy behind the Thyroid Bethesda Reporting scheme and its impact to date in clinical practice.
2) Discuss the effect of Thinlayer preparations for thyroid FNA and compare with conventional smears.
3) Discuss the histologic criteria that are needed to make a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma in difficult cases (example: in conjunction with florid chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, focal nuclear changes in an encapsulated follicular lesion, macrofollicular papillary carcinoma, etc).
4) Provide and illustrate various interesting thyroid lesions by utilizing a case presentation format.
