About the course:
This second SGH Breast Pathology Course aims to focus on challenges and pitfalls of preoperative diagnosis of breast conditions using core biopsy and cytology. A hands-on microscopy workshop for individual review of a wide spectrum of cases from our SGH archive will allow participants to appreciate the daily issues confronting surgical pathologists when interpreting breast core biopsies and fine needle aspirates from both screen detected and symptomatic lesions. The workshop integrates friendly consultation and open dialogue with our invited experts.
A series of lectures discussing radiological principles and pathologic approaches to problematic lesions on core biopsy and cytology will be part of the course. Lecture handouts and DVDs of cases will be distributed to participants.
Who should attend:
Practising pathologists, pathology fellows and residents, and clinicians managing breast conditions.
