Improve Your Ability to Interpret Gastrointestinal and Liver Specimens

This recording of Johns Hopkins’ 15th Annual Current Topics in Gastrointestinal and Liver Pathology event delivers a practical overview for pathologists who encounter gastrointestinal and liver specimens in daily practice. Interpretation of biopsies of the upper GI tract mucosa and the liver will be addressed, as well as recent advances in pancreatic and biliary pathology. Participants should come away with a better understanding of interpretation of mucosal biopsies, liver biopsies, pancreatic/biliary disorders, and the application of modern techniques to gastrointestinal disorders. The program is intended for community pathologists, gastrointestinal specialists, hepatologists, GI and hepatology fellows and residents. It will help you to better:

• Evaluate 
liver biopsies for fatty liver disease
• Summarize inflammatory patterns associated with esophagitis
• Identify key components to molecular analysis of colon cancer
• Discuss advances in genomic medicine as it relates to gastrointestinal malignancies
• Identify common and rare gastric and small bowel neoplasms
• Understand Helicobacter-negative gastritis, gastrointestinal lymphomas, drug-induced liver injury, non-IBD colitis, and iatrogenic injury to the GI tract
