This is a 90 min session to allow for ample Q&A.
Applications of immunohistochemistry in breast pathology will be reviewed, including the pros, perils and pitfalls of myoepithelial stains, CK5/ER, Ecadherin and catenins. A brief overview of breast markers for metastasis will be given, with some emphasis on newer stains.
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Apply (judiciously) and correctly interpret myoepithelial immunostains in breast pathology
- Utilize immunohistochemistry as an adjunct in diagnosis of UDH/atypia-DCIS
- Apply and understand immunostains for lobular neoplasia
- Select a panel to characterize metastasis.
Target audience: Pathologists, Residents, Medical Students
