Diagnostic Utility of Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Testing on Cytology Cell Blocks for the Definitive Classification of Salivary Gland Neoplasms
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
- To evaluate diagnostic role of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) testing performed on cell blocks in salivary gland neoplasm (SGN) fine needle aspiration (FNA) specimens
- To assess FISH’s ability to improve/make definitive diagnosis in SGN FNA biopsies
- To consider the practicality of ancillary FISH testing in diagnostic work-up of SGN FNA tissue
