Keynote Lecture: Lance Armstrong and the Tour de Cancer, Lawrence H. Einhorn, MD

Intermediate Level – Lance Armstrong won seven consecutive Tour de France races. This was a remarkable achievement, especially since he first had to overcome metastatic testicular cancer that had spread to his abdominal lymph nodes, lungs and brain.

Keynote Lecture: Advances in Testis Cancer, Lawrence H. Einhorn, MD

Intermediate Level – Testicular cancer is a rare malignancy, accounting for only 1% of male cancer. However, it is the most common cancer in men ages 15-35 years. Due to advances in chemotherapy, the cure rate for metastatic testicular cancer has improved from 5% to 80%.

Keynote Lecture: Personalized Therapy for Lung Cancer, Lawrence H. Einhorn, MD

Intermediate Level – Lung cancer is subdivided in several pathologic forms mainly small cell and non-small cell. The latter consists of adenocarcinoma, squamous cell and large cell lung cancer. Newer molecular discoveries now allow you to personalize therapy based upon abnormal genes rather than just light microscopy.

Lecture: H1N1 The Myths, the Facts, and Is There Cause for Alarm?, Meghan L. Harris, MPH, CPM and Steven Suvalsky, PA(ASCP)^CM, MHS

Intermediate Level – This lecture is a collaborate lecture by Pathologists’ Assistant Steven Suvalsky and Epidemiologist Meghan Harris of the Iowa Department of Public Health sharing their cooperative journey during the recent 2009 H1N1 pandemic. They will detail their shared roles when in October 2009 three consecutive hospital deaths became the first reported mortalities in Polk County, Iowa from H1N1 and their experience dealing with the autopsies, the response of different professionals, the clinical facts, and the epidemiology of this virus.

Sharing facts about H1N1 and the response required from Pathologists’ Assistants during public health emergencies were motivators for this lecture by Steve and Meghan. It is designed for those PAs in attendance to have a better appreciation of their unique roles as the pathology/laboratory investigators and as liaisons working with health officials!

Intermediate Level – Tumors arising in the adult kidney represent a diverse group of neoplasms with renal cell carcinoma being most common. At the present time, the primary therapy for renal cell carcinoma is surgical resection. The most important parameters related to the prognosis in individual patients include features such as pathologic stage, histologic subtype and nuclear grade. The proper gross evaluation and section submission are critical to accurately providing this information in the final pathology report. Understanding the current pathologic staging system (revised in 2010) enable the examiner to properly dissect and sample a kidney resection specimen. Further, the gross appearance provides important clues to the specific variant of renal cell carcinoma or to a benign entity that can mimic carcinoma. This presentation will highlight the key features to be identified at gross examination of the resection specimen and provide guidelines to approaching sampling of the specimen in a logical and efficient way.

Lecture: Some General and Pathologic Aspects of Testicular Cancer, Thomas Ulbright, MD

Intermediate Level – This lecture will discuss some of the demographic aspects of testicular cancer and its epidemiology. Important observations relevant to the staging of testicular cancer will be illustrated and discussed. A review of the relative frequencies of the various types of germ cell tumors and their gross and microscopic pathology will be provided. The pathology of regressed germ cell tumors will be illustrated, including diagnostic criteria for regressed germ cell tumors.

Intermediate Level – The appropriate use of RPLND for germ cell cancer will be discussed.

Lecture: Salivary Gland Tumors: Practical Surgical and Pathologic Considerations, Part I, Don-John Summerlin, DMD, MS

Intermediate Level – Salivary gland tumors represent a diverse group of benign and malignant entities with specific characteristics of growth and behavior. Because of this, accurate diagnosis is essential in order to appropriately treat these conditions. Methods of diagnosis will be discussed, as well as the pathobiology of the lesions and importantly, the surgical management of these tumors. Particular reference will be given to the pathologists’ assistants’ role in the management and preparation of these unique specimens.

Lecture: Salivary Gland Tumors: Practical Surgical and Pathologic Considerations, Part II, Don-John Summerlin, DMD, MS

Intermediate Level – Salivary gland tumors represent a diverse group of benign and malignant entities with specific characteristics of growth and behavior. Because of this, accurate diagnosis is essential in order to appropriately treat these conditions. Methods of diagnosis will be discussed, as well as the pathobiology of the lesions and importantly, the surgical management of these tumors. Particular reference will be given to the pathologists’ assistants’ role in the management and preparation of these unique specimens.

Basic Level – A survey of the substantial areas of law that potentially impact the professional health care provider, emphasizing those areas related to the pathologists’ assistant practice.

Lecture: Breast Pathology – ASCO-CAP Guidelines and You, Sunil Badve, MD, FRCPath

Intermediate Level – Breast cancer is a common disease affecting women and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Enormous strides have been made in the treatment of breast cancer. These advances have been largely based on the molecular drivers that determine the proliferation and metastatic capacities of the tumor cells. The oldest amongst these is the estrogen receptor. Long before we knew that a hormone called estrogen exists, it was documented that oophorectomy was beneficial for some breast cancer patients. Today, the assessment of ER/PR and HER2 receptors is standard of care for patients with breast cancer. Unfortunately, this assessment is significantly impacted by a number of variables. The goal of this talk to so acquaint the attendees with the limitations of the testing methodologies and the impact that makes on the lives of women with breast cancer.

Lecture: A Brief Overview of Transplantation Pathology with Emphasis on Explant Evaluation, Oscar W. Cummings, MD

Intermediate Level – Solid organ transplantation is a relatively new field of medicine. It began initially with heart and kidney transplants in the 1970s. However, enthusiasm for these procedures was dampened by relatively weak immune-suppression that resulted in many complications. With the advent of Cyclosporin immune-suppression in the mid 1980s, solid organ transplantation blossomed into the near universal service that it is today. As this clinical endeavor grew, so did the role of the pathologist not only in evaluating pre- and post-transplant biopsies, but also in evaluation of the explanted organ. After a brief historical review, we will concentrate on the gross evaluation of explant specimens from the heart, liver, lung, small intestine/multiviscera, pancreas, and kidney. In general, we will review the following for each organ: orientation and anatomic landmarks, surgical orientation for failed allografts, pathologic findings, detection of occult neoplasia, evaluation of vascular margins, sectioning and the appropriate number of cassettes for histologic submission.

Basic Level – There are many myths out there regarding laboratory safety, regulation, guidelines vs. standard, etc. This lecture will, by specific example, try to clarify regulatory hierarchy and dispel many common misconceptions about CAP, OSHA, EPA and other regulatory agencies. This lecture will also address the role of a lab safety officer and clarify the time and effort needed for such a role.

Lecture: The Analysis of Skeletal Trauma in Forensic Anthropology, Stephen Nawrocki, PhD, DABFA

Basic Level – Decomposed and skeletonized human remains cases pose a number of difficulties for the medicolegal system that the typical pathology unit may not be prepared to handle. Because of their extensive training in osteology and archeology, forensic anthropologists can assist in both the recovery and laboratory analysis of these remains. Working at the recovery scene, the anthropologist can form an estimate of the time of death, determine whether the body was moved from another location, and ensure that all bones and evidence is found. Careful observation of skeletal features can reveal the sex, ancestry, age at death, body size, and distinguishing characteristics of the decedent. In addition, the anthropologist can distinguish perimortem trauma from marks made after death by environmental forces, such as carnivore scavenging, rodent gnawing, and plowing damage.

Lecture: Surgery for Primary and Metastatic Germ Cell Tumors to the Chest, Kenneth A. Kesler, MD

Basic Level – Postchemotherapy thoracic surgery is an important component in the treatment of primary mediastinum. Although surgery can be challenging, the cure rates in these typically otherwise young and healthy patients are relatively high compared to malignancies. Our specific thoracic surgical approaches, outcomes, and variables predicting survival following surgery based on large volume institutional data will be presented.

3-D Lecture: Multi-dimensional Imaging of the Biological Specimens, Carrie L. Phillips, MD

Basic Level – Biological specimens are traditionally examined by two-dimensional microscopy, a technique that is rapid and affordable but misses the complexity of three-dimensional structures embedded within these samples. This lecture will introduce the audience to three- and four-dimensional imaging made possible by multi-photon fluorescent microscopy. Comparisons will be made to conventional imaging techniques including bright-field microscopy, widefield epifluorescence, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. 3-D glasses are optional!

Intermediate Level – Dr. Pless will review several medical legal cases where subtle findings were critical in establishing the true cause of death. Some of these cases involved autopsies performed by PA’s with indirect supervision. Some involved board certified forensic pathologists.

Schedule is subject to change

Workshop A: Epidemiology Basics: How to Monitor, Interpret, and Assign Significance to Acute Disease Trends, and the Role of Pathology in Assessing Disease Prevalence in Populations, Meghan L. Harris, MPH, CPM

Basic Level – In this workshop, we will review epidemiologic concepts, the basic structure of acute disease reporting systems, how data from systems is disseminated, and which trends are particularly important to consider. We will address the significant acute disease events of the past 5-10 years including 2009 H1N1, but also diseases like Hantavirus and issues such as postmortem testing of SIDS infants. Throughout the workshop, the role of pathology and collaboration with public health will be emphasized. Attendee participation including experience and information-sharing will be a vital part of this workshop.

Free Seminar B Sponsored by Sakura: Standardized Specimen Grossing and Orientation of Wet Tissue, Stephen Vernon, MD Sponsored by Sakura Finetek USA

Intermediate Level – This afternoon seminar is sponsored by Sakura Finetek USA, Inc. The momentum to standardized grossing and dissection techniques becomes even more important due to the increased utilization of rapid tissue processors. However, along with the requirement to “slice thinner” come sets of new tools to assist PAs to accomplish standardization without compromising on time. And now with the advent of an automated embedder, orientation of the tissue sample can be done on wet tissue eliminating orientation notes and inking of the specimen. Register for this free seminar to learn more.

Safety Workshop C: Injury Prevention for PAs, Christopher Sovereign, LMT, CNMT, CBAT, COSM

Basic Level – This course will be a student involved, practical, possibly career saving workshop. The three main areas of focus shall be defining what an injury is and how to prevent it; warming up and its importance; and strengthening the soft tissues – when and how to do this safely. Participants will be going through a PA specific program designed to help prevent injuries. A portion of this workshop will be in a lecture format; however, much of the time will be spent actively involved in learning and performing the injury prevention program. We will finish with a Q & A.

Check out this informational video on the new AAPA TV page!!

Basic Level – This workshop will offer a general review of the structure and content of the ASCP Pathologists’ Assistant Certification Exam.

Workshop E: Management and Leadership Training 201, John E. Mitchell, BS, MSBA, PA(ASCP)^CM, HMCM (USNR RET) and Jonathan Bakst, MBA, MHS, PA(ASCP)^CM
