Molecular Diagnostics in Gynecological Pathology
Blake Gilks, University of British Columbia
Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify those recent advances in knowledge of the molecular pathology of gynecological cancers that have impacted on current subclassification of ovarian carcinoma in the WHO classification system (2014 revision).
2. Understand the emerging molecular classification of endometrial carcinoma and its clinical relevance.
3. Describe the differences between HPV-independent and HPV-associated carcinomas of cervix and vulva, and how this should change diagnostic practice.
