Small biopsy and cytology specimens are often the only available specimen for diagnosis and determination of prognostic and predictive markers in lung cancer. Despite several diagnostic categories available for resected specimen, cytological diagnosis is restricted to adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumors. Diagnostic criteria and use of ancillary tests for tumor classification will be discussed. Tumors of the mediastinum are rare and the site can be involved in many different tumors. Most pathologists are not familiar with mediastinal disease, especially cytological features of these entities. In this webinar, we will discuss a cytologic diagnostic approach for mediastinal diseases.

Target Audience

This educational activity is designed for pathologists, cytopathologists, cytotechnologists, students and other members of the cytopathology community.

Learning Objectives

  • Apply the WHO classification of lung tumor in cytology specimens
  • Understand the application of cytology for molecular diagnosis and its indication in lung cancer
  • Diagnose types of non small cell lung cancer in cytology material
  • Apply a diagnostic scheme to approach mediastinal tumors
