Register and View the Full Agenda: CAP26 Session Agenda and Registration
Recent recommendations from the International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) and the Genitourinary Pathology Society (GUPS), along with the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumours: Urinary and Male Genital Tumours, novel classification and ancillary studies, and evolving clinical management guidelines have introduced substantial updates in the diagnosis of urologic malignancies. These changes present challenges for surgical pathologists to consistently apply current criteria in routine practice.
This session will provide a practical review of key updates in the classification and diagnosis of bladder, kidney, testicular, and prostate cancers. Emphasis will be placed on the application of updated diagnostic criteria, incorporation of new terminology, and alignment with current clinical management guidelines to support accurate diagnosis and effective communication in clinical practice.
