2024 Annual Meeting Long Course: Sign-out of Medical Liver Disease and Liver Tumor Specimens in the Molecular Era: Emerging Possibilities
Original release date: May 22, 2024
Course Description
This course will cover a variety of hepatic neoplasms and medical liver diseases where there are opportunities for ancillary molecular testing to produce refinement of the diagnosis and provide clinically relevant prognostic information. For each of the topics addressed, the most up to date morphologic features and criteria used for diagnosis will first be reviewed, and then the potential for additional molecular testing will be covered. Resources regarding the availability and technical requirements for molecular testing will also be discussed. The potential of selected exciting emerging technologies to have clinical impact in the near term future will also be included.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
- Recognize the utility of germline testing to identify disease risk alleles for selected medical liver diseases
- Identify circumstances where molecular testing of benign and malignant liver tumors can be helpful in patient management decisions
- Understand the circumstances where molecular testing can supplement immunohistochemistry in the identification of the origin of hepatic metastatic tumor
