Atypical Glandular Cells in Pap Tests: Cytology-Histology Correlation and Risk Assessment with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Testing
The eJournal is an online pathology journal club that reviews current articles from a peer-reviewed cytopathology Journal.
Participants will be able to review the journal article, commentary and webinar from the contributing author. This is a great self-assessment, teaching and continuing education tool.
Target Audience
This educational activity is designed for pathologists, cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, students and other members of the cytopathology community.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss atypical glandular cells (AGC) as a diagnosis and the challenges it poses on Pap testing
- Highlight the role of hrHPV testing and genotyping and discuss the utility it may play in stratifying patients with AGC on Pap testing
- Explore AGC Pap cytology findings with subsequent biopsy correlates to examine the risk of high-grade lesions
