Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology 2023

OVERVIEW

A practical, case-based overview for those who encounter GI and liver specimens in their daily practice, this online CME program addresses interpretation of upper GI tract mucosa and liver biopsies, along with recent advances in pancreatic and biliary pathology.

 

Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology — led by renowned pathologist Lysandra Voltaggio, MD — includes case-based continuing medical education lectures designed to help you better interpret mucosal and liver biopsies, enhance your understanding of pancreatic and biliary disorders, and apply modern techniques to gastrointestinal disorders.

Learning Objectives

After participating in this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:

  • Recognize the major histological types of gastric cancer and the variants with clinical relevance
  • Recognize the spectrum of benign/reactive lesions that mimic gastric cancer and its precursor lesions
  • Discuss current practice guidelines in management of gastric intestinal metaplasia
  • Recognize relevant pathologic features that are necessary for decision making in selecting treatment options of early gastric cancer
  • Identify helpful diagnostic features on selected challenging cases from the Gl consultation service
  • Name the current clinical utility of cell-free DNA in the characterization of gastrointestinal malignancies
  • Distinguish between neuroendocrine neoplasms and other non-neoplastic lesions and neoplasms that can mimic neuroendocrine neoplasms
  • Describe the special stains that aid in the histologic diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
  • Discuss how single cell RNA sequencing and other molecular advances deepen our understanding of “normal” human intestinal crypt niche homeostasis and injury responses across anatomic segments
  • Recognize basic histologic pattern of the most common liver diseases
  • Discuss when colon polyps may be linked to polyposis syndromes
  • Describe medication effects that can mimic gastrointestinal diseases
  • Identify the clinically significant distinct variants of pancreatic cancer
