Expert Series with Jason L. Hornick, M.D., Ph.D.: Soft Tissue Pathology: A One-On-One Tutorial

This seminar is designed to provide a practical yet comprehensive review of soft tissue tumor pathology. A pattern-based approach to diagnosis, including an emphasis on differential diagnosis, as well as the use of ancillary diagnostic methods (especially immunohistochemistry) will be discussed.

This CME activity is primarily intended and designed to educate pathologists.
