Multidisciplinary approach to diagnose tumours
Lectures and practical training
Discussion in multidisciplinary setting

Educational objectives

* To practice with and experience the benefit of a multidisciplinary approach to bone lesions

* To increase knowledge of the diagnostic criteria of a variety of primary bone tumours and tumour-like lesions

• To understand the genetic background and the role of molecular diagnostics in the diagnosis of bone tumours

Course contents

This course aims at the practical multidisciplinary approach to diagnose tumours of bones and joints, which can also be encountered outside specialized centers. The course deals with a systematic approach of groups of frequently occurring tumours and tumour-like lesions.

The emphasis is multidisciplinary and the focus on the interaction between pathologists, radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons, which is crucial to come to an adequate diagnosis. Lectures are admixed with practical training in the form of computerized microscopy training, and discussion of relevant molecular biological techniques, in a multidisciplinary setting.
