Slice Slice Baby: A Case-Based Look at Cancer in the Real World

Ever feel like pathology reports leave you with more questions than answers? Wondering what to do when results are inconclusive or when they don’t match your clinical picture? This fast-paced, practical session brings together a boarded oncologist and pathologist for a candid, case-based conversation about how to get the most out of your diagnostics and your specialists.
We’ll share our “two cents” on the most common (and confusing) scenarios in real-world oncology and pathology, including:

• What to do when results are unexpected or “non-diagnostic”
• Why some samples don’t yield definitive answers—and how to prepare clients for that
• When and how to pursue add-on testing or correlate with clinical findings
• Tips for submitting samples that set your pathologist up for success
• How to make your pathologist an extended member of your care team

Expect practical pearls, real cases, and plenty of back-and-forth discussion. Whether you’re submitting your first biopsy or your hundredth, this session will help you sharpen your diagnostic strategy and strengthen your specialist relationships.
