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.
