Event 9: Cytologic Assessment of Thyroid Nodules in the Era of Precision Medicine: Updates in 2023 Bethesda Reporting System and Diagnostic Challenges/Pitfalls

June 12th 2024, 3pm EST

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) plays a vital role in the evaluation of patients with thyroid nodules, in terms of distinguishing benign, non-neoplastic thyroid nodules that may be conservatively managed from neoplastic or malignant nodules that need surgical intervention. However, a definitive, cytologic diagnosis cannot be rendered in approximately 1/3 thyroid nodules. This session will review updates and challenges associated with assessment of thyroid FNAs.

Small and mighty: The power of FNA and core biopsy for tumor diagnosis and biomarker testing

February 29th 2024, 15:00 EST

In recent years, small volume biopsies have been increasingly utilized for diagnosis of tumors in both primary and recurrent settings. Concomitantly, the numbers of ancillary studies for characterizing tumors and biomarker tests to support appropriate therapy selection are also on the rise. A combination of both cytologic and small histologic samples is often obtained in tandem at time of biopsy. Pathologists are responsible for ensuring judicious selection of specimens appropriate for particular tests in a wide array of tumor types. This session will review optimal small biopsy utilization for diagnosis and ancillary testing in several organ systems.

AI revolution in diagnostic pathology: Is the tide turning?

March 14th 2024, 12:00 EST

The practice of diagnostic pathology has gone through a disruptive transformation in which multiple tools such as digital imaging, advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, and computer-aided diagnostic techniques are resulting in the availability of these new tools to assist, augment and empower the diagnostic pathology. Automated whole slide imaging (WSI) scanners are now rendering diagnostic quality, high-resolution images of entire glass slides and combining these images with innovative digital pathology tools that are making it possible to integrate imaging into all aspects of pathology reporting including anatomical, clinical and molecular pathology. The recent approvals of WSI scanner for primary diagnosis by FDA as well as the approval of prostate AI algorithm has paved the way for starting to incorporate this exciting technology for use in primary diagnosis Once the slides are digitized, artificial intelligence tools are providing a unique platform for innovations and advances in anatomical and clinical pathology workflows. This talk will describe where we are in the journey towards utilizing these digital pathology and AI tools for routine pathology practice and what are the possibilities, once fully implemented.
