This four and one half day course will provide an up-to-date review of the pathology of selected subspecialty areas of neoplastic disease, including Breast, Gynecological and Head and Neck pathology. Appropriate use of advanced diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology will be incorporated into the lectures, including the assessment of therapeutic biomarkers. Case presentations will also be integrated into some sessions.
