Program Overview

Gynecologic and obstetric pathology continues to evolve rapidly with significant advances in tumor classification, molecular diagnostics, prognostic biomarkers, and targeted therapies. Accurate pathologic diagnosis plays a critical role in guiding clinical management, therapeutic decisions, and patient outcomes.

This course provides practical guidance for pathologists and clinicians who evaluate gynecologic and obstetric specimens, emphasizing diagnostic accuracy, classification updates, and clinically meaningful pathology findings.

Special attention is given to placental pathology, endometrial and ovarian carcinomas, uterine mesenchymal tumors, cervical pathology, and molecular testing strategies that influence modern patient care.
