Overview

Convenient and Comprehensive CME

Masters of Pathology Series — Breast Pathology, an 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 by using both routine microscopic examination and immunohistochemistry. Directed by Laura C. Collins, MD, this breast pathology continuing medical education will help define the role of newer adjunctive molecular tests and 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
