Threats, Opportunities, and Implications for Future Practice	0.00 CME Credit	Recent research by the CAP and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has revealed, in its Physician Specialty Data Reports – one of the most important data sources on physician supply in the US, that the AAMC has been dramatically undercounting the number of pathologists. This undercount has been increasing each year since 2004 and reached nearly 40% in 2020. In this session, faculty will discuss the research that led to this important finding; show how the discovery of this shortfall changes what we know about the rate of growth in pathologist supply, the distribution of pathologists by whether or not they specialize, and the gender, age distribution, and racial/ethnic mix of pathologists. The faculty will also discuss what the data tells us about threats, opportunities, and implications for the future of pathology practice.	W. Stephen Black-Schaffer, MD, FCAP Kalisha A.

In most hospital autopsies, a routine dissection and histology will provide a cause of death. However, no cause of death will be apparent in some cases, a dissatisfying result for the pathologist, clinician, and family. This hands-on lab will provide a practical guide to approaching such cases. Interactive case presentations will be used to illustrate some of the most common causes of death in the absence of gross and histologic findings and when to suspect those diagnoses. The lecture will also cover the special testing needed to make those diagnoses, including special dissections, clinical laboratory testing, toxicology, genetic testing, and molecular testing. The participants will have the opportunity to practice several unique techniques, including a dissection of the conducting system and aspiration of the vitreous humor.

Furthermore, large institutions benefit from rapid autopsies because of unlimited access to tissue and the opportunity to capture the biology of both normal and diseased states. Studies using autopsy tissue have greatly advanced our understanding of neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, the pathophysiology of emerging infectious agents, and the molecular alterations responsible for disease recurrence and progression after treatment. Next-generation genomics brings new opportunities in pathology to utilize fresh tissue for the molecular advancement of neoplastic and infectious human disease, with unprecedented single cell resolution. This course will provide simple tips on how to educate administrators/clinicians on the value of autopsies. The faculty will highlight the advantages of rapid autopsies for the pathologist and the researcher, using specific case examples including their own experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, they will provide practical guidelines on techniques for fresh tissue procurement, including collection, single-cell dissociation, and culture.	Clare H.

S2149 \| Breast Pathology \| 1.50 CME Credits	S2149	Hereditary Breast Cancers: What do We Know Beyond BRCA?	1.50 CME Credits	Advances in the application of next-generation sequencing have led to the identification of germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes other than BRCA1/2 that significantly increase risk for developing breast cancer. Guidelines for genetic testing in breast cancer patients are limited by the tedious process of extracting family history and are notorious at missing a significant proportion of patients otherwise suitable for testing. We, as pathologists, could ease this process by identifying distinct histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features associated with these mutations. Furthermore, recent approval of PARP-inhibitors for treatment of breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations has substantiated a need for embracing new tests for predicting response to therapy. The faculty will highlight the most up-to-date information related to hereditary breast cancers and will emphasize the important role the pathologist plays in their identification. This course is suitable for general surgical pathologists, subspecialized pathologists, and pathologists in training.

Malignant mimics of benign lesions abound and vice versa. The diagnostic considerations are broad as some malignant lesions, such as metaplastic carcinomas, can be deceptively bland. A targeted IHC panel is often critical in evaluating these lesions, but there are important pitfalls to be aware of when evaluating IHC. The faculty will review common and unusual spindle cell lesions of the breast, considerations that should be included in the differential diagnosis, and when and how to utilize IHC to support a morphologic diagnosis. In some cases, a definitive diagnosis is not possible on core needle biopsy. The faculty will discuss how best to convey sufficient pathologic information to the clinical team so that the patient receives appropriate care.

All systems address problematic terminologies and attempt to streamline patient management. Common standards improve communication between cytopathologists and their clinical colleagues. Specifically, The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology (TBS) was born in response to problematic practices and the creation of CLIA 88. Bethesda-Thyroid and Serous Fluid Systems were created due to a need for clarification of diagnostic tiers and risks of malignancy. Paris was needed because of poor performance of low-grade urinary cytology and clarification of what urinary cytology does well. The Milan System for Salivary Gland came about because of diagnostic inconsistencies in dealing with a very difficult area. All DRSCs have been modeled after TBS. In this session, faculty will describe four DRSCs, discuss real-world implications of the proposed nomenclature, and provide updates of each reporting scheme.

Some diagnoses in hematopathology are particularly time sensitive, such as acute promyelocytic leukemia. However, there are many other situations in which the oncology team may request a rapid diagnosis, including patients who are very ill, require a specific therapy, or may benefit from enrollment in a clinical trial. Careful evaluation of flow cytometric findings will facilitate interactions with the clinical team, and expedite ordering the ancillary tests in a thorough but cost-effective manner. In this course, the faculty will use case studies and audience polling to explore the strengths (and weakness) of flow cytometry in making critical and timely diagnoses. They will discuss the clinical significance of these findings as well as potential pitfalls.

A constellation of laboratory findings, including prominent elevation of fibrinogen, D-dimer/fibrin(ogen) degradation products, positive lupus anticoagulant, and altered viscoelastic tests have been reported. Increased platelet consumption, a corresponding increase in production, and increased activation of circulating platelets appear to occur. As the disease progresses, patients can develop findings similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but the rarity of severe bleeding events in these patients is not typical. Overall, these findings are associated with systemic hypercoagulability, frequent venous, arterial, and microvascular thrombotic and thromboembolic events.

Pathologists were not considered “equal” in medical practice by their clinical colleagues; however, in 1926 pathologists received significant recognition when the American College of Surgeons revised its standards to require that laboratories be under the direction of MD physicians with special training in pathology and that “all tissue removed at operations shall be examined in the laboratory and reports rendered.” Recognition of pathologists as physicians and pathology as a medical specialty was reinforced in 1935 when a joint committee of the AMA Section on Pathology and the ASCP agreed that a Board of Pathology should be established. In 1936, the ABPath was incorporated in Michigan and approval was granted by the ABMS and the AMA Council on Medical Education. On July 19, 1936, the ABPath met for the first time in Chicago. The growth in specialty medicine and certification boards were the result of advancements in medical science, leading to improvements in patient care. Before the creation of board certification, there was no way to assure the public or the profession that a physician claiming to be a specialist had the requisite skills. Board certification demonstrates that a physician has: 1) completed an extended period of rigorous training and assessment of the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required to practice in a specialty; and 2) passed a secure, comprehensive examination of knowledge and skills. Consistent with rapid changes in medicine and societal expectations, ABPath began issuing time-limited certification in 2006. Diplomates maintain certification by meeting requirements for professionalism, life-long learning, and self-assessment, including longitudinal assessment with ABPath CertLink®, and health and health care improvement activities.

While demonstrating the value of laboratory medicine to the health system, pathologists must also find quantitative ways to demonstrate their value in newer payment models. Pathologists must report on measures of quality, utilization, and cost, depending on the program or payer. For example, within the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Quality Payment Program, there are two participation pathways that impact an individual’s or group’s Medicare payments. The faculty will provide information to pathologists on how to demonstrate their impact on overall quality and cost to the organization through various quality measures to maximize reimbursement in these payment programs. The faculty will also present an interactive portion to facilitate discussions about the challenges and opportunities related to developing and implementing quality measures for accountability and quality payment program purposes.

This finding has led to the increased tissue sampling of smaller nodules detected by radiology, leading to several challenges encountered on microscopic analysis. With the World Health Organization (WHO) fifth edition of Thoracic Tumors and the Internatinoal Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Pathology Committee recommendations, accurate histologic typing and triaging of the smaller biopsy samples have become increasingly complex. In this course, the faculty will present the radiological characteristics of lung nodules <2 cm along with the pathology correlation. In addition, faculty will offer guidance using the most recent recommendations provided by the WHO classification especially in small biopsies.	Jonathan Myles, MD, FCAP Mark S.

Potential challenges for diagnosis and biomarker testing can arise in these limited volume specimens. Therefore, judicious triaging in an effort to maximize the information one can obtain on these small specimens is important. With rapid advances in predictive and prognostic biomarker testing in lung cancer, pathologists are at the forefront of triaging these small specimens for diagnosis as well as performing and interpreting clinically needed biomarker testing. Hence, an understanding of the best practices to ensure adequate collection and handling of small specimens is critical. This course is designed for practicing pathologists, molecular laboratory personnel, and pathology trainees. The faculty will address various challenges in lung cancer diagnosis and the ever-expanding list of biomarker testing targets for small biopsy and cytology specimens, as well as discuss strategies to improve specimen collection and handling with a focus on therapeutic implications.

S2149 \| Breast Pathology \| 1.50 CME Credits	S2149	Hereditary Breast Cancers: What do We Know Beyond BRCA?	1.50 CME Credits	Advances in the application of next-generation sequencing have led to the identification of germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes other than BRCA1/2 that significantly increase risk for developing breast cancer. Guidelines for genetic testing in breast cancer patients are limited by the tedious process of extracting family history and are notorious at missing a significant proportion of patients otherwise suitable for testing. We, as pathologists, could ease this process by identifying distinct histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features associated with these mutations. Furthermore, recent approval of PARP-inhibitors for treatment of breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations has substantiated a need for embracing new tests for predicting response to therapy. The faculty will highlight the most up-to-date information related to hereditary breast cancers and will emphasize the important role the pathologist plays in their identification. This course is suitable for general surgical pathologists, subspecialized pathologists, and pathologists in training.

Malignant mimics of benign lesions abound and vice versa. The diagnostic considerations are broad as some malignant lesions, such as metaplastic carcinomas, can be deceptively bland. A targeted IHC panel is often critical in evaluating these lesions, but there are important pitfalls to be aware of when evaluating IHC. The faculty will review common and unusual spindle cell lesions of the breast, considerations that should be included in the differential diagnosis, and when and how to utilize IHC to support a morphologic diagnosis. In some cases, a definitive diagnosis is not possible on core needle biopsy. The faculty will discuss how best to convey sufficient pathologic information to the clinical team so that the patient receives appropriate care. This course is appropriate for all pathologists who review breast specimens.	Laura C.

All systems address problematic terminologies and attempt to streamline patient management. Common standards improve communication between cytopathologists and their clinical colleagues. Specifically, The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology (TBS) was born in response to problematic practices and the creation of CLIA 88. Bethesda-Thyroid and Serous Fluid Systems were created due to a need for clarification of diagnostic tiers and risks of malignancy. Paris was needed because of poor performance of low-grade urinary cytology and clarification of what urinary cytology does well. The Milan System for Salivary Gland came about because of diagnostic inconsistencies in dealing with a very difficult area. All DRSCs have been modeled after TBS. In this session, faculty will describe four DRSCs, discuss real-world implications of the proposed nomenclature, and provide updates of each reporting scheme.

Pathologists were not considered “equal” in medical practice by their clinical colleagues; however, in 1926 pathologists received significant recognition when the American College of Surgeons revised its standards to require that laboratories be under the direction of MD physicians with special training in pathology and that “all tissue removed at operations shall be examined in the laboratory and reports rendered.” Recognition of pathologists as physicians and pathology as a medical specialty was reinforced in 1935 when a joint committee of the AMA Section on Pathology and the ASCP agreed that a Board of Pathology should be established. In 1936, the ABPath was incorporated in Michigan and approval was granted by the ABMS and the AMA Council on Medical Education. On July 19, 1936, the ABPath met for the first time in Chicago. The growth in specialty medicine and certification boards were the result of advancements in medical science, leading to improvements in patient care. Before the creation of board certification, there was no way to assure the public or the profession that a physician claiming to be a specialist had the requisite skills. Board certification demonstrates that a physician has: 1) completed an extended period of rigorous training and assessment of the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required to practice in a specialty; and 2) passed a secure, comprehensive examination of knowledge and skills. Consistent with rapid changes in medicine and societal expectations, ABPath began issuing time-limited certification in 2006. Diplomates maintain certification by meeting requirements for professionalism, life-long learning, and self-assessment, including longitudinal assessment with ABPath CertLink®, and health and health care improvement activities.

While demonstrating the value of laboratory medicine to the health system, pathologists must also find quantitative ways to demonstrate their value in newer payment models. Pathologists must report on measures of quality, utilization, and cost, depending on the program or payer. For example, within the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Quality Payment Program, there are two participation pathways that impact an individual’s or group’s Medicare payments. The faculty will provide information to pathologists on how to demonstrate their impact on overall quality and cost to the organization through various quality measures to maximize reimbursement in these payment programs.

During this session, the faculty will explore the recent revival of whole blood transfusion, specifically low titer O whole blood (LTOWB). In addition, they will review relevant literature pertaining to whole blood, LTOWB, and resuscitation. Faculty will also present perspectives from both the hospital/trauma center and blood center, including the logistics of manufacturing and supplying LTOWB, regulatory/accreditation requirements, the challenges of optimizing the use of LTOWB, and the types of patients who can most benefit from this blood product.						12/30/1899 12:00 AM

Threats, Opportunities, and Implications for Future Practice	0.00 CME Credit	Recent research by the CAP and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has revealed, in its Physician Specialty Data Reports – one of the most important data sources on physician supply in the US, that the AAMC has been dramatically undercounting the number of pathologists. This undercount has been increasing each year since 2004 and reached nearly 40% in 2020. In this session, faculty will discuss the research that led to this important finding; show how the discovery of this shortfall changes what we know about the rate of growth in pathologist supply, the distribution of pathologists by whether or not they specialize, and the gender, age distribution, and racial/ethnic mix of pathologists. The faculty will also discuss what the data tells us about threats, opportunities, and implications for the future of pathology practice.	W. Stephen Black-Schaffer, MD, FCAP Kalisha A.

In most hospital autopsies, a routine dissection and histology will provide a cause of death. However, no cause of death will be apparent in some cases, a dissatisfying result for the pathologist, clinician, and family. This hands-on lab will provide a practical guide to approaching such cases. Interactive case presentations will be used to illustrate some of the most common causes of death in the absence of gross and histologic findings and when to suspect those diagnoses. The lecture will also cover the special testing needed to make those diagnoses, including special dissections, clinical laboratory testing, toxicology, genetic testing, and molecular testing. The participants will have the opportunity to practice several unique techniques, including a dissection of the conducting system and aspiration of the vitreous humor.

Furthermore, large institutions benefit from rapid autopsies because of unlimited access to tissue and the opportunity to capture the biology of both normal and diseased states. Studies using autopsy tissue have greatly advanced our understanding of neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, the pathophysiology of emerging infectious agents, and the molecular alterations responsible for disease recurrence and progression after treatment. Next-generation genomics brings new opportunities in pathology to utilize fresh tissue for the molecular advancement of neoplastic and infectious human disease, with unprecedented single cell resolution. This course will provide simple tips on how to educate administrators/clinicians on the value of autopsies. The faculty will highlight the advantages of rapid autopsies for the pathologist and the researcher, using specific case examples including their own experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, they will provide practical guidelines on techniques for fresh tissue procurement, including collection, single-cell dissociation, and culture.	Clare H.

S2149 \| Breast Pathology \| 1.50 CME Credits	S2149	Hereditary Breast Cancers: What do We Know Beyond BRCA?	1.50 CME Credits	Advances in the application of next-generation sequencing have led to the identification of germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes other than BRCA1/2 that significantly increase risk for developing breast cancer. Guidelines for genetic testing in breast cancer patients are limited by the tedious process of extracting family history and are notorious at missing a significant proportion of patients otherwise suitable for testing. We, as pathologists, could ease this process by identifying distinct histomorphologic and immunophenotypic features associated with these mutations. Furthermore, recent approval of PARP-inhibitors for treatment of breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2 mutations has substantiated a need for embracing new tests for predicting response to therapy. The faculty will highlight the most up-to-date information related to hereditary breast cancers and will emphasize the important role the pathologist plays in their identification. This course is suitable for general surgical pathologists, subspecialized pathologists, and pathologists in training.

Malignant mimics of benign lesions abound and vice versa. The diagnostic considerations are broad as some malignant lesions, such as metaplastic carcinomas, can be deceptively bland. A targeted IHC panel is often critical in evaluating these lesions, but there are important pitfalls to be aware of when evaluating IHC. The faculty will review common and unusual spindle cell lesions of the breast, considerations that should be included in the differential diagnosis, and when and how to utilize IHC to support a morphologic diagnosis. In some cases, a definitive diagnosis is not possible on core needle biopsy. The faculty will discuss how best to convey sufficient pathologic information to the clinical team so that the patient receives appropriate care.

All systems address problematic terminologies and attempt to streamline patient management. Common standards improve communication between cytopathologists and their clinical colleagues. Specifically, The Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical Cytology (TBS) was born in response to problematic practices and the creation of CLIA 88. Bethesda-Thyroid and Serous Fluid Systems were created due to a need for clarification of diagnostic tiers and risks of malignancy. Paris was needed because of poor performance of low-grade urinary cytology and clarification of what urinary cytology does well. The Milan System for Salivary Gland came about because of diagnostic inconsistencies in dealing with a very difficult area. All DRSCs have been modeled after TBS.

Some diagnoses in hematopathology are particularly time sensitive, such as acute promyelocytic leukemia. However, there are many other situations in which the oncology team may request a rapid diagnosis, including patients who are very ill, require a specific therapy, or may benefit from enrollment in a clinical trial. Careful evaluation of flow cytometric findings will facilitate interactions with the clinical team, and expedite ordering the ancillary tests in a thorough but cost-effective manner. In this course, the faculty will use case studies and audience polling to explore the strengths (and weakness) of flow cytometry in making critical and timely diagnoses. They will discuss the clinical significance of these findings as well as potential pitfalls.

A constellation of laboratory findings, including prominent elevation of fibrinogen, D-dimer/fibrin(ogen) degradation products, positive lupus anticoagulant, and altered viscoelastic tests have been reported. Increased platelet consumption, a corresponding increase in production, and increased activation of circulating platelets appear to occur. As the disease progresses, patients can develop findings similar to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but the rarity of severe bleeding events in these patients is not typical. Overall, these findings are associated with systemic hypercoagulability, frequent venous, arterial, and microvascular thrombotic and thromboembolic events.

Pathologists were not considered “equal” in medical practice by their clinical colleagues; however, in 1926 pathologists received significant recognition when the American College of Surgeons revised its standards to require that laboratories be under the direction of MD physicians with special training in pathology and that “all tissue removed at operations shall be examined in the laboratory and reports rendered.” Recognition of pathologists as physicians and pathology as a medical specialty was reinforced in 1935 when a joint committee of the AMA Section on Pathology and the ASCP agreed that a Board of Pathology should be established. In 1936, the ABPath was incorporated in Michigan and approval was granted by the ABMS and the AMA Council on Medical Education. On July 19, 1936, the ABPath met for the first time in Chicago. The growth in specialty medicine and certification boards were the result of advancements in medical science, leading to improvements in patient care. Before the creation of board certification, there was no way to assure the public or the profession that a physician claiming to be a specialist had the requisite skills. Board certification demonstrates that a physician has: 1) completed an extended period of rigorous training and assessment of the knowledge, skills, and professionalism required to practice in a specialty; and 2) passed a secure, comprehensive examination of knowledge and skills. Consistent with rapid changes in medicine and societal expectations, ABPath began issuing time-limited certification in 2006. Diplomates maintain certification by meeting requirements for professionalism, life-long learning, and self-assessment, including longitudinal assessment with ABPath CertLink®, and health and health care improvement activities.

While demonstrating the value of laboratory medicine to the health system, pathologists must also find quantitative ways to demonstrate their value in newer payment models. Pathologists must report on measures of quality, utilization, and cost, depending on the program or payer. For example, within the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Quality Payment Program, there are two participation pathways that impact an individual’s or group’s Medicare payments. The faculty will provide information to pathologists on how to demonstrate their impact on overall quality and cost to the organization through various quality measures to maximize reimbursement in these payment programs. The faculty will also present an interactive portion to facilitate discussions about the challenges and opportunities related to developing and implementing quality measures for accountability and quality payment program purposes.

This finding has led to the increased tissue sampling of smaller nodules detected by radiology, leading to several challenges encountered on microscopic analysis. With the World Health Organization (WHO) fifth edition of Thoracic Tumors and the Internatinoal Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Pathology Committee recommendations, accurate histologic typing and triaging of the smaller biopsy samples have become increasingly complex. In this course, the faculty will present the radiological characteristics of lung nodules <2 cm along with the pathology correlation. In addition, faculty will offer guidance using the most recent recommendations provided by the WHO classification especially in small biopsies.	Jonathan Myles, MD, FCAP Mark S.

Potential challenges for diagnosis and biomarker testing can arise in these limited volume specimens. Therefore, judicious triaging in an effort to maximize the information one can obtain on these small specimens is important. With rapid advances in predictive and prognostic biomarker testing in lung cancer, pathologists are at the forefront of triaging these small specimens for diagnosis as well as performing and interpreting clinically needed biomarker testing. Hence, an understanding of the best practice
