Navigating the Complexities of Gynecologic Pathology

This comprehensive online CME course delves into the intricacies of gynecologic tract pathology, providing invaluable insights into both the prevalent and enigmatic lesions affecting the female reproductive system. Through lectures and hands-on microscopy sessions, participants will embark on an in-depth exploration of these conditions, meticulously organized by anatomic location and diagnostic type.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this engaging educational program, participants will have acquired the expertise to:

• Master the diagnosis of inflammatory vulva conditions: Establish a comprehensive understanding of the spectrum of inflammatory conditions affecting the vulva, empowering them to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.

• Utilize universal testing for Lynch syndrome detection: Implement effective screening protocols to detect and identify individuals at risk of Lynch syndrome, a hereditary cancer predisposition disorder.

• Discern mesenchymal uterine tumors and employ diagnostic aids: Develop a comprehensive approach to uterine mesenchymal tumors, recognizing their various types and leveraging the most useful ancillary tests for accurate diagnosis.

• Distinguish ovarian carcinoma subtypes: Acquire the ability to differentiate between clear cell, endometrioid, and serous ovarian carcinomas, enabling them to provide precise and timely patient care.

• Identify germ cell and sex cord stromal ovarian tumors: Gain proficiency in classifying germ cell and sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary, enhancing their ability to diagnose rare and complex neoplasms.

• Overcome placental pathology challenges: Navigate the intricacies of placental pathology, confidently diagnosing and managing the diverse range of lesions that may arise during pregnancy.
