Description
Learn the Latest Best Practices
Using both routine microscopic examination and immunohistochemistry, this online CME program outlines best practices for specimen handling and reporting, defined diagnostic criteria, improved recognition of less common diagnostic entities, and accurate interpretation of ancillary studies. Along with defining the role of newer adjunctive molecular tests, this breast pathology CME course will also help you to better:
- Classify proliferative breast, in situ, papillary, fibroepithelial, spindle cell, and vascular lesions
- Make the distinction between invasive and in situ lesions
- Identify a variety of uncommon benign and malignant lesions
- Understand guidelines for reporting prognostic and predictive factors

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this CME activity, the participant will be able to:
- Evaluate diagnostic criteria and clinical significance of various common and uncommon benign, in situ and malignant lesions of the breast in both core needle biopsy specimens and surgical excision specimens
- Describe differential diagnostic problems commonly encountered in breast pathology and develop strategies to resolve them in the practice environment
- Utilize the latest information on the uses and limitations of immunohistochemistry in resolving diagnostic problems in breast pathology
- Understand the updated guidelines for ER, PR and HER2 testing and reporting
- Understand the applications of molecular testing in breast cancer
Intended Audience
This educational activity was designed for practicing pathologists, pathology assistants, and residents.
