Course Description
An Algorithmic Panel-Based Approach to Molecular Diagnostics in Sinonasal Tumors.
Molecular diagnostics is becoming increasingly essential in the diagnosis of sinonasal malignancies. Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) funds molecular testing in sinonasal tumors with an algorithmic approach to case work-up. We will present our institutional experience in implementing the testing from the molecular lab to the oncology clinic.
Target Audience
All medical and healthcare professionals and researchers interested in understanding cancer genomic testing, head and neck oncogenesis, and the clinical impact of molecular test results. This series is presented as a collaboration between ClinGen Somatic, VICC, and ACMG consortia.
Agenda
Presentations followed by live Q&A.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Explain the role of molecular diagnostics in the accurate diagnosis and classification of sinonasal malignancies, and integrate this knowledge into diagnostic evaluation and treatment planning.
- Evaluate the clinical relevance of molecular testing for sinonasal malignancies and apply this information to enhance patient care strategies.

Accredited Continuing Education Financial Disclosure
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide Accredited Continuing Education (ACE) for physicians.
ACMG is an organization committed to improvement of patient care and general health by the incorporation of genetics and genomics into clinical practice.
ACMG has implemented the following procedures to ensure the independence of ACE activities from commercial influence/promotional bias, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) requires that providers (ACMG) must be able to demonstrate that: 1) everyone in a position to control the content of an ACE activity has disclosed all financial relationships that they have had in the past 24 months with ineligible* companies; 2) ACMG has implemented a mechanism to mitigate relevant financial relationships; and 3) all financial relationships with ineligible companies are disclosed to the learners before the beginning of the educational activity. The learners must also be informed if no relevant financial relationships exist.
*Ineligible companies are defined as those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re- selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.
All relevant financial relationships listed have been mitigated.
