Topics And Speakers:

In Molecular Diagnostics: Cancer Diagnosis and Patient Management, experts in the field review current concepts and up-to-date techniques, delving into the appropriate use of molecular assays for different tumor types to inform diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment using evidence-based guidelines.

Lectures in this online CME course illustrate common diagnostic pitfalls, with additional focus on variant interpretation and the complexity of billing for molecular tests. It’s continuing medical education that will help you to:

  • Develop appropriate tissue-handling protocols
  • Evaluate cytogenetic and molecular techniques, including next generation sequencing assays
  • Recognize cost-effective, time-sensitive approaches to molecular studies, including cell free DNA testing
  • Determine the process of clinical interpretation of genetic variation
  • Analyze costs and potential sources of revenue for molecular diagnostics programs
  • Consider essential and emerging biomarkers in common adult and pediatric solid and liquid tumors

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:

  • Develop appropriate tissue-handling protocols to facilitate molecular testing
  • Evaluate cytogenetic and molecular techniques including different types of next generation sequencing assays
  • Recognize cost-effective and time-sensitive approaches to molecular studies in cancer diagnostics, including implementation of cell free DNA testing
  • Determine the process of the clinical interpretation of genetic variation
  • Analyze the costs and potential sources of revenue for molecular diagnostics programs
  • Consider essential and emerging molecular biomarkers in a range of common adult and pediatric solid and liquid tumors

Target Audience

This course will help pathologists, oncologists, and PhD-trained staff working in molecular diagnostic laboratories or in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as trainees in Oncology and Pathology.
