Course Objectives
The course is designed for general surgical pathologists and pathologists in training, interested in soft tissue pathology. The aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive review and update of selected topics in soft tissue pathology. The lectures will focus on soft tissue tumors using a pattern based approach.
The use of immunohistochemistry and molecular pathology techniques essential for diagnosis will be discussed. News and changes of the upcoming WHO classifi- cation will be addressed. In addition, the clinical aspects will be discussed by providing insights in the surgical and medical treatments of soft tissue tumors.
