CME 13.5
Course Description
Capitalizing on the advancement in the molecular diagnostics, the 2021 WHO classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors recommended substantial changes in taxonomy, nomenclature and grading of CNS tumors. Furthermore, 22 new tumor types/subtypes were introduced and 13 revised terminologies for tumor types/subtypes were implemented. This case-based course will provide a framework for using the contemporary molecular and morphological diagnostic criteria in pediatric and adult brain tumors and pituitary gland neoplasms. Expert faculty will lead sessions to ensure pathologists become familiar with these major changes in diagnostic criteria and utilize them in their daily practice.
This course is a collaboration between the American Association of Neuropathologists and USCAP.
