Kursens syfte | The core of this course is based on microscopic sessions tutored by expert pathologists. This approach gives an opportunity to the participants to learn the morphology/histology of different human cancers and the corresponding normal tissues and to get understanding of the complex histology of human cancers. |
Kursens lärandemål | At the end of the course the participants should be able to:
- Distinguish normal from malignant cells in tumor tissues and be acquainted with the morphology/histology of the different tumor types, differentiation stage and tumor grade. - Recognize cellular processes in the tumor tissue and its microenvironment like mitosis, cell proliferation, pleomorphism, lineage differentiation, tumor stage, necrosis, apoptosis, neural and vascular invasion, vascularisation. - Understand ethical issues and legislation concerning biobanking and practical issues on tumor handling. |
Kursens innehåll | - Tumor histopathology and grading. Introduction.
- Endocrine tumors. - Breast tumors. - Prostate tumors. - Gastrointestinal tumors. - CNS tumors. - Hematological malignancies. - Sarcoma. - Gynecologycal cancers. - Tumor handling and biobanking. |
Arbetsformer | The first day will include an introductory lecture covering general aspects of tumor morphology/histopathology and grading (approx 6 hrs).
In the following days we will review one tumor diagnosis per day organized in 45 min introduction, followed by 2 hrs interactive microscopy sessions using a multi-headed microscope and a digital screen, guided by pathologists expert in each field. Home exercises consisting on digital images of tumors together with the clinical history are given at least twice to the students for training. For distribution of files and examination we use OneDrive. |
Obligatoriska moment | 100% attendance is recommended, due that each session is exclusive and cannot be compensated for later on.
The student will be asked to review the issue presented in case of absence in a session. |
Examination | The students will get different case studies including digital images from tumors tissues and their clinical history via the OneDrive account of the course. The students will then examine the cases and provide a writen description of the relevant observations leading to a correct diagnosis and answers.
Images and questions have been provided by each teaching pathologist. When appropriate, anti-plagiarism tools will be used according to the guidelines from the Committee for Doctoral Education at KI. |
