A Multidisciplinary Approach to Thoracic Pathology with Clinical, Molecular and Radiologic Correlations

Friday, October 15, 2021, 7:45 AM - Saturday, October 16, 2021, 3:30 PM

This two-day live virtual course is designed to give a current review of thoracic pathology with clinical and radiologic correlations. The course will consist of a series of presentations with some multidisciplinary sessions regarding lung cancer, interstitial lung disease and non-neoplastic lung disease.

The new 2021 WHO Classification of Lung Tumors, the 8thEdition TNM Staging Classification, and ATS/ERS Classification of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias will be presented. Most of the speakers will be expert lung pathologists, but there will also be clinical and radiologic presentations by well-known thoracic clinicians and radiologists for the interstitial lung disease topic. The presentations will illustrate the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to solving difficult problems in thoracic disease.

Who Should Attend

This course will be invaluable for pathologists, pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, and radiologists, including physicians in training.
