Head and Neck Pathology Masters of Pathology Series 2020 (Videos)

Gain Key Diagnostic Tools
Head and Neck Pathology – part of our Masters of Pathology Series — explores diagnostic possibilities and potential pitfalls across a large cross-section of the head and neck region. Dr. Justin Bishop, a recognized expert in the field of surgical pathology, gives special attention to the most recent developments, including new classifications, new entities, and the use of immunohistochemistry and molecular biology techniques. With this online CME course, you’ll learn the latest on:

– Common high-volume areas, such as squamous cell carcinoma (both HPV-related and unrelated) and thyroid pathology
– Areas known to be particularly problematic, such as odontogenic pathology and salivary gland pathology
– Important pathology aspects of the oral cavity, nose and paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, neck, and thyroid
– And more…

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able:

– List an accurate differential diagnosis for a given head and neck lesion
– Order appropriate immunostains to address the diagnostic possibilities in a thoughtful, stepwise manner following an algorithmic approach
– Understand the limitations and potential pitfalls of each diagnostic tool
– State the clinical (prognostic and therapeutic) implications for making a given head and neck diagnosis

Intended Audience
This educational activity was designed for pathologists and otolaryngologists.
