News Desk, News Nation 360 : The Suresh Neotia Centre of Excellence for Leadership sponsored the first National Level CME (Continuing Medical Education) and Workshop on "Updates in Soft Tissue Tumours" organised by the Association of Bone & Soft Tissue Pathologists (ABSTP), India. With an emphasis on tackling the difficulties associated with diagnosing uncommon and diverse soft tissue tumours, the event brought together eminent national and worldwide specialists in bone and soft tissue pathology. The CME on soft tissue tumours, a rare and complex area of pathology, was a significant event in Kolkata. It provided a platform for knowledge sharing and expertise exchange among pathologists. The event was made even more special by Dr. Abbas Agaimy, a renowned expert in the field, who shared his insights on the intricacies of soft tissue tumour diagnosis. Along with other eminent speakers like Dr. Jayasree Kattoor and Prof (Dr.) Bharat Rekhi, the CME offered a comprehensive learning experience for attendees, covering histomorphology, advanced techniques like immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology (FISH, RT-PCR, and NGS), and real-world case discussions. This collaborative effort aimed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve patient outcomes in the challenging soft tissue tumour pathology field. Dr Devmalya Banerjee, Organising Secretary of the event and Lead Oncopathologist at Narayana Hospital, RN Tagore Hospital, Mukandapur, emphasized the importance of correct diagnosis in cancer care. He stated that several factors, including nutrition, environmental exposure, and lifestyle changes, have contributed to a large increase in the incidence of cancer. However, the likelihood of curing cancer has also increased due to advancements in contemporary therapy. Accurate and prompt diagnosis is essential for effective cancer therapy, particularly for uncommon conditions like soft tissue tumours. These tumours' intricacy and rarity frequently lead to limited exposure during medical education, which poses diagnostic challenges in clinical settings.
