Dear Fellow GIPS members,  

Attached is a Powerpoint show with 4 THEMATIC CASES for the 2011 Saturday afternoon GIPS meeting.  The last 30 minutes is devoted to cases for discussion.  Go to the subpage selection below and down load the show.  This year I have focused on Staging issues.  For instance, some anatomic patterns are difficult to stage in colon carcinoma; we are now staging neuroendocrine tumors; and tumor grading can now affect stage (these were independent constructs in the past).
