DUKE UNIVERSITY School of Medicine Pathologists' Assistant
DUKE UNIVERSITY School of Medicine Pathologists’ Assistant Program Department of Pathology Academic Programs The Department of Pathology at Duke University offers a wide array of training programs to fit individual requirements and goals. The Residency Training program is an ACGME approved program and is available as an Anatomic Pathology/Clinical Pathology combined program, a shorter Anatomic Pathology only program, or an Anatomic Pathology/Neuropathology program. Subspecialty fellowships in Cytopathology, Dermatopathology, Hematopathology, Medical Microbiology, and Neuropathology are also ACGME approved. These programs provide the highest quality of graduate medical education by drawing on the depth and breadth of faculty expertise in the Department in all aspects of anatomic and clinical pathology and the availability of a wide variety of often complex clinical cases seen at Duke University Health System. For medical students interested in a career in Pathology pre-doctoral fellowships, internships and externships are available. Research Training in Experimental pathology can be obtained through Pre- and postdoctoral fellowships of one to five years. All pre-doctoral fellows are candidates for the Ph.D. degree in pathology. The Ph.D. is optional in postdoctoral programs, which provide didactic and research training in various aspects of modern experimental pathology. A two year NAACLS accredited Pathologists’ Assistant Program leads to a Master of Health Science degree, certifies graduates to sit for the ASCP Board of Certification examination, and leads to exciting career opportunities in a variety of anatomic pathology laboratory settings. Pathologists’ assistants are analogous to physician assistants, but with highly specialized training in autopsy and surgical pathology. This profession was pioneered in the Duke Department of Pathology 50 years ago, and is one of only twelve such programs in existence today. -
Understanding Your Pathology Report: Benign Breast Conditions
cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Understanding Your Pathology Report: Benign Breast Conditions When your breast was biopsied, the samples taken were studied under the microscope by a specialized doctor with many years of training called a pathologist. The pathologist sends your doctor a report that gives a diagnosis for each sample taken. Information in this report will be used to help manage your care. The questions and answers that follow are meant to help you understand medical language you might find in the pathology report from a breast biopsy1, such as a needle biopsy or an excision biopsy. In a needle biopsy, a hollow needle is used to remove a sample of an abnormal area. An excision biopsy removes the entire abnormal area, often with some of the surrounding normal tissue. An excision biopsy is much like a type of breast-conserving surgery2 called a lumpectomy. What does it mean if my report uses any of the following terms: adenosis, sclerosing adenosis, apocrine metaplasia, cysts, columnar cell change, columnar cell hyperplasia, collagenous spherulosis, duct ectasia, columnar alteration with prominent apical snouts and secretions (CAPSS), papillomatosis, or fibrocystic changes? All of these are terms that describe benign (non-cancerous) changes that the pathologist might see under the microscope. They do not need to be treated. They are of no concern when found along with cancer. More information about many of these can be found in Non-Cancerous Breast Conditions3. What does it mean if my report says fat necrosis? Fat necrosis is a benign condition that is not linked to cancer risk. -

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – 2019 Program: GENERAL PATHOLOGY Specialty/Field Questions: 1. a) What are some strengths about your specialty? What draws and keeps people in your specialty? • The opportunity to understand the nature of disease in an in-depth way that isn’t achieved in any other specialty. You get to practice scientific diagnostic medicine over a broad range of subjects and you have a fair degree of control over your schedule. You are very much a part of the team taking care of the patient (it just isn’t as obvious!), and this is becoming even more apparent in the era of precision medicine. • Although there is limited direct contact with patients, there is a great deal of contact with a variety of clinicians outside the laboratory as well as with physician, PhD, and technical staff colleagues within the laboratory. We get satisfaction from the interactions we have with others, and knowing that we are helping a clinician take the next step in diagnosing or treating a patient. The stereotypical image of the hermit- like pathologist who stays in their office and never talks to anyone is rapidly disappearing in today’s pathology practice. b) What are some common complaints about your specialty? • There is limited direct clinical contact – you’ll never have an office full of patients who regard you as their doctor and most pathologists have a hospital-based practice which can limit professional autonomy. • You often have to sit/stand at a microscope and/or computer a lot, so sometimes you need to get creative about staying active during the day. -
Consensus Guideline on Concordance Assessment of Image-Guided Breast Biopsies and Management of Borderline Or High-Risk Lesions
- Official Statement - Consensus Guideline on Concordance Assessment of Image-Guided Breast Biopsies and Management of Borderline or High-Risk Lesions Purpose To outline the management approach for borderline and high risk lesions identified on image-guided breast biopsy. Associated ASBrS Guidelines or Quality Measures 1. Image-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy of Palpable and Nonpalpable Breast Lesions 2. Performance and Practice Guidelines for Stereotactic Breast Procedures 3. Concordance Assessment Following Image-Guided Breast Biopsy Methods Literature review inclusive of recent randomized controlled trials evaluating the management of various borderline and high-risk lesions (including atypical hyperplasia, lobular neoplasia, papillary lesions, radial scars and complex sclerosing lesions, fibroepithelial lesions, mucocele-like lesions, spindle cell lesions, and pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia [PASH]) identified on image-guided breast biopsies. This is not a complete systematic review but a comprehensive review of the modern literature on this subject. The ASBS Research Committee developed a consensus document which the ASBS Board of Directors reviewed and approved. Summary of Data Reviewed Percutaneous core needle biopsy (CNB) is the preferred, initial, minimally invasive diagnostic procedure for nonpalpable breast lesions or palpable breast masses.1 Concordance assessment of the histologic, imaging, and clinical findings determines further management. Discordance refers to the situation in which a breast CNB demonstrates benign histology, while the clinical or imaging findings are suspicious for malignancy. If there is discordance between imaging and pathology, histological evaluation is still needed. This can be accomplished either by repeat CNB, perhaps with consideration of larger gauge or vacuum- assisted device, or surgical excision.2-5 Some nonmalignant CNB findings are considered “borderline” because of their potential association with malignancy. -
