USCAP Gynecologic Pathology: Practical Strategies for Modern Practice 2025

Original release date: January 10, 2025

As a major clinical subspecialty, diagnostic gynecological pathology involves a large number of disease entities and often complex histological variants. Recent developments, particularly molecular genetic discoveries, have introduced new and reclassified entities as well as refined diagnostic criteria for many existing disease processes, calling for knowledge update for practicing pathologists. This unique course offers an engaged learning experience with world-class faculty delegated from the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists (ISGyP). While providing comprehensive coverage, the course emphasizes knowledge gains in morphologic recognition and using ancillary immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic studies in the most challenging areas, particularly new disease classifications/diagnostic criteria.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

• Describe recent updates in diagnostic terminology and criteria based on the 2020 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Gynecologic Tract
• Discuss common diagnostic pitfalls and problems in differential diagnosis including practical tips
• Explain use and interpretation of widely available ancillary studies to aid in proper diagnosis
• Review modern immunohistochemical biomarkers frequently used for treatment selection and prognostication, including interpretive pearls
