Next-Generation Immunohistochemistry: A Window Onto the Molecular Alterations in Tumors

Date: Thursday, Sep 24, 2020

Description: At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Identify the principal classes of molecular alterations that occur inhuman malignancies 
• Explain several different types of changes, on the protein level, which can result from gene mutations occurring in tumors 
• Describe examples of tumors manifesting unique chromosomal translocations and recognize how in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques can be employed in their detection 
• Summarize examples of tumors that are characterized by deletions and/or mutations of selected genes, resulting in loss of protein expression, and help in the identification these tumors by IHC

ASCLS P.A.C.E.® credits are available to laboratory professionals through March 23, 2021.
