Diagnostic Slide Seminar Kidney Tumor Pathology Part 2
Speaker: Andrew Evans
By the end of this talk the audience will be able to:
Explain the rationale and indications for performing needle biopsies of incidentally found renal masses
State the expected diagnostic yield for these biopsies and how the results influence patient management
Understand the current barriers to more widespread adoption of needle biopsies to characterize renal masses
Describe an approach to classifying kidney tumours with immunohistochemistry that is based on specific panels of markers determined by H&E morphology
List the most frequently encountered kidney tumours associated with familial syndromes and be aware of steps required for confirming these diagnoses and screening patient relatives.
