Tumour Assessment in the Genomic Era 1: The Evidence for a Systematic Approach

Note: This e-learning is currently under review and will be revised in due course.The assessment is not currently available.

Welcome to the HEE Genomics Education Programme'sTumour Assessment in the Genomic Era E-learning

This collection of modules has been developed by Health Education England's Genomics Education Programme (GEP), in collaboration with molecular pathology and histopathology experts from across the NHS. It is designed to support NHS staff who are assessing tumour samples going forward for genomic testing. Suitable for histopathologists and biomedical and clinical scientists, there are two e-learning modules and a final assessment.

Tumour Assessment in the Genomic Era 1: The Evidence for a Systematic Approach

Welcome to this 35-minute e-learning module that outlines the principles of, and evidence behind, a systematic method to assess tumour samples selected for DNA extraction and genomic sequencing.

Following on from this module, Tumour Assessment in the Genomic Era 2: Adopting a Systematic Model is a 30-minute course that provides a step-by-step tutorial in a systematic model of tumour assessment devised by teams at the Royal MarsdenNHS Foundation Trust and Queen's University Belfast.

Tumour Assessment in the Genomic Era 3: Final Assessment allows you to test what you have learnt in the previous modules by estimating the cellularity and percentage of neoplastic content of a range of tumour samples within a digital pathology environment.
