Course Description
Join expert pathologists as they provide essential hints and tips for navigating challenging cases in surgical pathology. The selected cases will cover a variety of conditions commonly encountered in daily practice. Additionally, the faculty will share insights on nomenclature, classification, staging, histological, immunohistochemical features, and the potential applications of molecular techniques. The specialties discussed will include breast, bone and soft tissue, thoracic, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and gynecological pathology. Discussions will focus on case-based presentations.

Target Audience
Practicing academic and community pathologists, and pathologists-in-training

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:

• To provide current nomenclature of different tumors by organ system.
• To provide current information of new immunohistochemical stains that may aid in the diagnosis.
• To provide current staging systems in tumor pathology.
• To provide current information of the role of molecular diagnostics.
• To share experiences with difficult and controversial cases.

The USCAP Tips and Hints in Surgical Pathology 2026 program is best for practicing surgical pathologists, pathology residents, and fellows who want practical, case‑based guidance on challenging diagnostic scenarios. It provides expert insights into nomenclature, classification, staging, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and the evolving role of molecular techniques.

👩‍⚕️ Who Should Enroll

• Practicing surgical pathologists who encounter complex or ambiguous cases in daily practice and want updated diagnostic strategies.
• Pathology residents & fellows preparing for board exams or seeking deeper exposure to real‑world diagnostic challenges.
• Academic pathologists teaching or supervising trainees, who benefit from structured case‑based discussions.
• Subspecialty pathologists (GI, breast, lung, GU, etc.) who want cross‑disciplinary diagnostic pearls.
• Laboratory directors & consultants integrating histopathology with molecular diagnostics.

📚 What You’ll Learn

• Diagnostic strategies: practical hints for navigating difficult surgical pathology cases.
