Overview

This 24th annual conference is intended as a practical overview for pathologists who encounter gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatobiliary specimens in daily practice. Interpretation of biopsy and resection specimens will be addressed, as well as recent advances in ancillary testing and molecular diagnostics. Case presentations will be featured to apply presented concepts. Participants should come away with a better understanding of the diagnostic approach to non-neoplastic and neoplastic specimens and the application of modern molecular techniques.

Objectives

Discuss the targeted therapies currently available for upper gastrointestinal malignancies.

Describe the biomarkers evaluated in colorectal carcinoma in routine clinical practice.

List the molecular biomarkers that are used in clinical liver tumor pathology practice.

Discuss emerging risk stratification methods in Barrett esophagus.

Discuss important criteria for risk stratification in patients with locally resected invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Consider the differences in gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms versus those in the small intestine, pancreas, colon, and anus.

Describe GI pathology-specific applications of artificial intelligence.

List the differential diagnosis for the most commonly encountered patterns of colitis.

Discuss the differential diagnosis for the most common infectious organisms that affect the GI tract.

Discuss the diagnostic workup for Hirschsprung’s disease.

Review common issues in autoimmune hepatitis.

Assess the utility of routine, special and immunohistochemical stains in constructing a final diagnosis for a liver mass directed biopsy.

Describe the approach to sampling margins and lesional tissue in pancreatic resections.

Recognize the major cystic neoplasms of the pancreas.
