USCAP Navigating Challenging Entities in Head and Neck/Endocrine Pathology: WHO 5th Edition and Beyond 2025

Overview

USCAP Navigating Challenging Entities in Head and Neck/Endocrine Pathology: WHO 5th Edition and Beyond 2025 addresses the complexities of diagnosing head and neck pathology through the lens of the latest classification updates. This course covers new concepts and entities from the 5th editions of the Head and Neck and Endocrine WHO Classifications of Tumors, including provisional entities that have emerged since publication. Participants will gain knowledge on diagnostic features, practical reporting, prognostic, and theragnostic information relevant to a range of uncommon tumor types across multiple head and neck and endocrine sites. Digital slides for each case presented are included to enhance learning.

On-demand pathology education — accessible anytime, anywhere.
