Onco-Pathology – Diagnose a biopsy

Department: Oncology, UMCG
Supervisor: Prof. H. Hollema MD PhD

Despite the introduction of sophisticated techniques in modern pathology macroscopic interpretation of resection specimens remains a cornerstone in the daily practice of surgical pathology. After a short introduction regarding the role of pathology in oncologic patient care and basic terminology the participants will be asked to interpret 5 macroscopic specimens from surgical resections. Questions will be focussed on the most likely diagnosis, carcinogenesis and T stage in relation to prognosis and therapy.

Four pathologist will be present to assist and answer questions.
