Sakura: BCC, SCC and Melanoma: Basics and Clinical Correlations
September 20, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
The histology laboratory plays a critical role in the diagnosis and prognosis of skin disease, and new findings support the vital role of the laboratory as new markers and methods for detecting various pathologies emerge. In this seminar we will review the histological differences in the various different types of skin cancer; focusing on basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma.
We will discuss the histological findings present in these three types, and the importance of special stains used to examine these cancers. We will then discuss the current immunohistochemical markers used to differentiate cancer subtypes, and why immunohistological staining is so important in determining the treatment for these patients, and protocols for immunohistochemistry for the most common tumor markers. We will also discuss the FDA, CAP and ASCO requirements and guidelines for IHC staining and antibodies.
