Threats, Opportunities, and Implications for Future Practice | 0.00 CME Credit | Recent research by the CAP and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has revealed, in its Physician Specialty Data Reports – one of the most important data sources on physician supply in the US, that the AAMC has been dramatically undercounting the number of pathologists. This undercount has been increasing each year since 2004 and reached nearly 40% in 2020. In this session, faculty will discuss the research that led to this important finding; show how the discovery of this shortfall changes what we know about the rate of growth in pathologist supply, the distribution of pathologists by whether or not they specialize, and the gender, age distribution, and racial/ethnic mix of pathologists. The faculty will also discuss what the data tells us about threats, opportunities, and implications for the future of pathology practice. | W. Stephen Black-Schaffer, MD, FCAP Kalisha A.

Furthermore, large institutions benefit from rapid autopsies because of unlimited access to tissue and the opportunity to capture the biology of both normal and diseased states. Studies using autopsy tissue have greatly advanced our understanding of neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, the pathophysiology of emerging infectious agents, and the molecular alterations responsible for disease recurrence and progression after treatment. Next-generation genomics brings new opportunities in pathology to utilize fresh tissue for the molecular advancement of neoplastic and infectious human disease, with unprecedented single cell resolution. This course will provide simple tips on how to educate administrators/clinicians on the value of autopsies. The faculty will highlight the advantages of rapid autopsies for the pathologist and the researcher, using specific case examples including their own experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, they will provide practical guidelines on techniques for fresh tissue procurement, including collection, single-cell dissociation, and culture. | Clare H.

Guidelines for genetic testing in breast cancer patients are limited by the tedious process of extracting family history and are notorious at missing a significant proportion of patients otherwise suitable for testing. We, as pathologists, could ease this process by identifying distinct histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features associated with these mutations. Furthermore, recent approval of PARP-inhibitors for treatment of breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations has substantiated a need for embracing new tests for predicting response to therapy. The faculty will highlight the most up-to-date information related to hereditary breast cancers and will emphasize the important role the pathologist plays in their identification.

Malignant mimics of benign lesions abound and vice versa. The diagnostic considerations are broad as some malignant lesions, such as metaplastic carcinomas, can be deceptively bland. A targeted IHC panel is often critical in evaluating these lesions, but there are important pitfalls to be aware of when evaluating IHC. The faculty will review common and unusual spindle cell lesions of the breast, considerations that should be included in the differential diagnosis, and when and how to utilize IHC to support a morphologic diagnosis. In some cases, a definitive diagnosis is not possible on core needle biopsy. The faculty will discuss how best to convey sufficient pathologic information to the clinical team so that the patient receives appropriate care.

All systems address problematic terminologies and attempt to streamline patient management. Common standards improve communication between cytopathologists and their clinical colleagues. Specifically, The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology (TBS) was born in response to problematic practices and the creation of CLIA 88. Bethesda-Thyroid and Serous Fluid Systems were created due to a need for clarification of diagnostic tiers and risks of malignancy. Paris was needed because of poor performance of low-grade urinary cytology and clarification of what urinary cytology does well. The Milan System for Salivary Gland came about because of diagnostic inconsistencies in dealing with a very difficult area. All DRSCs have been modeled after TBS. In this session, faculty will describe four DRSCs, discuss real-world implications of the proposed nomenclature, and provide updates of each reporting scheme.This course is cosponsored by the American Society of Cytopathology. | Zubair W.

If so, this course will provide specific diagnostic criteria in this area for attendees, including residents, general and even specialist pathologists. These diagnoses range from keratoses caused by friction such as from parafunctional habits, oral lichen simplex chronicus, and inflammatory conditions. The faculty will focus on the architectural, organizational, and cytologic features of oral epithelial dysplasia. Current data suggest that most, if not all leukoplakia’s, are precancerous whether they show cytologic evidence of dysplasia or not. At this time, too much emphasis has been placed on cytologic atypia so that many dysplastic lesions that show organization and architectural atypia have not been correctly diagnosed as such with serious consequences for patients. The faculty will show the clinical lesions and the corresponding histopathology which may look innocuous, and will also provide specific sign-out phrases that may be helpful. | Natalie Banet, MD, FCAP Deyin Xing, MS, BM, MBBS, PhD | In-Person, Virtual | Tuesday, October 11, 2022 | 10/11/2022 | 01:00 PM | 10/11/2022 01:00 PM | 01:00 PM | Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 1:00 PM | Gynecologic/Obstetric Pathology | Natalie Banet, MD, FCAP | Deyin Xing, MS, BM, MBBS, PhD | | nat-net | dey-ing | |||||

Pathologists were not considered “equal” in medical practice by their clinical colleagues; however, in 1926 pathologists received significant recognition when the American College of Surgeons revised its standards to require that laboratories be under the direction of MD physicians with special training in pathology and that “all tissue removed at operations shall be examined in the laboratory and reports rendered.” Recognition of pathologists as physicians and pathology as a medical specialty was reinforced in 1935 when a joint committee of the AMA Section on Pathology and the ASCP agreed that a Board of Pathology should be established. In 1936, the ABPath was incorporated in Michigan and approval was granted by the ABMS and the AMA Council on Medical Education. On July 19, 1936, the ABPath met for the first time in Chicago.The growth in specialty medicine and certification boards were the result of advancements in medical science, leading to improvements in patient care. Before the creation of board certification, there was no way to assure the public or the profession that a physician claiming to be a specialist had the requisite skills. Board certification demonstrates that a physician has: 1) completed an extended period of rigorous training and assessment of the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required to practice in a specialty; and 2) passed a secure, comprehensive examination of knowledge and skills. Consistent with rapid changes in medicine and societal expectations, ABPath began issuing time-limited certification in 2006. Diplomates maintain certification by meeting requirements for professionalism, life-long learning, and self-assessment, including longitudinal assessment with ABPath CertLink®, and health and health care improvement activities. | Larissa V.

While demonstrating the value of laboratory medicine to the health system, pathologists must also find quantitative ways to demonstrate their value in newer payment models. Pathologists must report on measures of quality, utilization, and cost, depending on the program or payer. For example, within the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Quality Payment Program, there are two participation pathways that impact an individual’s or group’s Medicare payments. The faculty will provide information to pathologists on how to demonstrate their impact on overall quality and cost to the organization through various quality measures to maximize reimbursement in these payment programs. The faculty will also present an interactive portion to facilitate discussions about the challenges and opportunities related to developing and implementing quality measures for accountability and quality payment program purposes. | Leslie M.

HER2 amplification/overexpression has been identified as a driver of tumor progression in various solid malignancies and may be predictive of a poor response to specific targeted therapies in mCRC. Although standard scoring systems are used for breast and gastric cancers to identify HER2 amplification, standardized workflows for HER2 testing in mCRC have not yet been established. Attend this event to hear firsthand how HER2 is currently assessed in mCRC, including a description of the testing methodologies and an explanation of the various scoring systems. | Speaker: Dr. Jaclyn Hechtman Presented By: Seagen | In-Person, Virtual | Sunday, October 9, 2022 | 11:15 AM | 10/09/2022 11:15 AM | 12:45 PM | Sunday, October 9, 2022, 11:15 AM - 12:45 PM | Speaker: Dr. Jaclyn Hechtman | Presented By: Seagen | | |||||||||

However, cytology has well-established limitations including sampling issues, subjectivity and somewhat poor sensitivity, Furthermore, the lowering prevalence of disease by repetitive screening and in recent years vaccination, requires higher sensitivity screening and more better triage of women with positive screening tests. In this session Drs. Huh and Stoler will: ● Briefly review the history of HPV screening and the need for improved screening methods. ● In this context, present data supporting the worldwide move HPV primary screening over cytology-based screening systems. ● Data supporting the implementation of dual-stain biomarker triage from the US IMPACT FDA registration trial and other US ex-US studies will emphasize how critical triage of screening results improves patient care by better reassurance of negatives and improved handling of HPV positive patients. | Presented By: Roche | In-Person, Virtual | Monday, October 10, 2022 | 11:15 AM | 10/10/2022 11:15 AM | 12:45 PM | Monday, October 10, 2022, 11:15 AM - 12:45 PM | Presented By: Roche | | ||||||||||
