Learning objectives

The Course aims to frame the use of high-throughput techniques, and in particular massive sequencing, in the context of histopathological analysis of neoplastic diseases. High-throughput profiling techniques have given a strong boost to research in this field, bringing to light numerous alterations and continuing to provide new information at an impressive speed. However, data analysis and especially interpretation and validation, as well as determination of the clinical impact of the various alterations, still pose serious challenges both at the level of translational research and at the level of integration with current diagnostic and clinical routines in a framework that must allow interaction between pathologists, surgeons and oncologists.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Basic knowledge of genetics and molecular biology

Program

In this course, through the presentation of data from the relevant literature and through the illustration of direct experiences of the teacher in the field of genomic/transcriptomic data analysis, the main advances in the genomic/transcriptomic profiling and classification of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic neoplasms in recent years will be illustrated.
