The activity was planned for pathologists in practice and pathology residents in training, those interested in breast pathology.
It is estimate that it should take the average learner 13.25 hours to complete the activity.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After viewing this program, participants will be better able to:
- Discuss the proper fixation and tissue processing for breast core biopsies, excisional biopsies and mastectomy specimens.
- Recognize the most common inflammatory and reactive lesions of the breast and be able to distinguish them from malignant tumors.
- Identify the most common fibroepithelial tumors of the breast and be able to distinguish them from each other based on established diagnostic criteria and outcomes.
- Recognize columnar cell alterations and distinguish them from atypical duct hyperplasia, usual duct hyperplasia, duct carcinoma in situ and flat epithelial atypia.
- Distinguish lobular from ductal lesions and discuss their molecular classification and surrogates and understand why this is important for laboratory metrics.
- Describe the principles of antibodies used in breast pathology to make accurate diagnoses, and understand their pitfalls of interpretation.
- Explain the critical importance of hormone receptor and Her2 analysis using immunohistochemistry and how proper use of these tests drive patient therapies.
- Discuss the molecular classification of breast cancers and understand the immunohistochemical surrogates of this classrflcatlon.
- List and accurately recognize special and rare types of breast carcinoma, and accurately distinguish them from metastasis to the breast.
- Identify the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for breast tumors, and be able to accurately assess breast specimens from patients who have had NACT.
- Outline the tumors that occur in children and adolescents and be able to discuss how they differ from their adult counterparts.
- List the common mesenchymal and hematopoietic tumors that occur in the breast and be able to accurately diagnose them.
