Breast Cancer CME Courses
Breast Cancer CME Courses
This CME program, featuring experts in the practice of Breast Pathology, is a comprehensive review of the core concepts and emerging trends in the field. Masters of Pathology Series – Breast Pathology covers updates on ER/PR/HER2 testing, contemporary issues in core needle biopsy, deceptive patterns and mimics of invasive breast cancer, and more. It will help you to better:
- Evaluate diagnostic criteria and clinical significance of common and uncommon benign, in situ, and malignant lesions
- Address differential diagnostic problems commonly encountered in breast pathology
- Gain the latest information on the uses and limitations of IHC in diagnostic breast pathology
- Understand the latest guidelines for ER, PR and HER2 testing and reporting
The Comprehensive Review of Breast Imaging delves into a wide array of topics and summarizes the common, key issues radiologists face in daily practice. This online CME course includes case-based lectures on topics like mammography, breast masses, correlating ultrasound with mammography and clinical findings, controversies in breast MRI, ultrasound and nipple discharge, ultrasound of breast implants, etc. It will help you to better:
- Comprehend the multimodality approach to breast imaging
- Understand the indications for and utility of breast MRI
- Learn to minimize recall rate and upsurge cancer detection rate at mammography
- Attain knowledge to use 3D tomosynthesis mammography in the screening and diagnostic settings
- Refresh your understanding of breast intervention procedures including biopsy and seed localizations
Explore Fundamental Topics
UCSF Breast Imaging provides an overview of the clinically relevant topics and apprises you of the latest trends in breast imaging. Led by Bonnie N. Joe, MD, PhD, this course highlights recent developments, with a strong focus on the use of multimodality imaging and intervention (mammography, ultrasound, MRI and tomosynthesis). It will help you to better:
- Apply and utilize BI-RADS categories as appropriate
- Expertly perform and interpret mammography and breast US
- Understand and implement the use of MRI and tomosynthesis in the clinical setting
- Facilitate compliance with reporting guidelines and management of patient follow-up, including cancer
Course Highlights:
- Contains all new content, constructed to meet the ACR CME requirement for facility accreditation in Breast MR.
- Case reviews for review of malignant and benign disease, featuring nodules, tumors and patterns of enhancement encountered in every day practice. Includes foundational breast MR lectures on indications, imaging techniques, epidemiology of breast cancer and risk stratification
- Covers topics such as benign enhancement patterns and foci of enhancement, fibroadenomas, papillomas, lymph nodes, DCIS, invasive malignancies both ductal and lobular, male breast cancer, patterns of nodal spread, synchronous and contralateral tumors, response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, skin and nipple involvement, phyllodes tumors, radial scars and much more
- Available in both DVD and online formats.
Duke Radiology’s 8th Mammograms to MRI is designed to provide a comprehensive review of established breast imaging modalities along with an update to the many advances in techniques. Practical advice will cultivate a complete discussion of analog and digital mammography, breast ultrasound, MRI and interventions. This strong foundation promotes an exploration of newer technologies, such as tomosynthesis. As such, the 17 AMA PRA Category I Credits™ available in this activity meet MQSA CME requirements, and all credits count as SA-CME for Maintenance of Certification.
Topics: 2D and 3D mammography, screening, Breast Cancer, biopsy, Breast MRI, Ultrasound, BIRADS, Lymph Nodes, High Risk Lesions, Surgery, Tomosynthesis and much more!
By the end of the session the participant will be able to:
- Apply screening criteria to a patient receiving AI therapy or androgen deprivation therapy
- Describe the criteria for initiation of pharmacotherapy in a patient receiving AI therapy or androgen deprivation therapy and apply them to a patient case
- Identify present pharmacotherapeutic treatments for management of a patient receiving AI therapy or androgen deprivation therapy, and describe their mechanisms of action and place in therapy
- Describe the challenges associated with treating patients receiving AI or androgen deprivation therapies, focus specifically on the risks (e.g., adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, et cetera) of the agents and apply the information in optimizing patient care in a patient case
