<strong>INTRODUCTION</strong><br />
This is a three-day meeting focusing to update the<br />
practicing pathologists on recent updates in various<br />
fields of oncologic surgical pathology including new<br />
entities, controversial areas and molecular aspects of<br />
contemporary diagnostic pathology.<br />
The workshop will consist of lectures and will be richly<br />
illustrated with slide demonstrations. Emphasis will be<br />
placed on the recognition of diagnostic problems and<br />
pitfalls and approaches to resolving differential<br />
diagnostic dilemmas. Clinical and histological correlation<br />
will be amply illustrated.<br />
<strong>GOAL</strong><br />
The main goal is to provide a general and<br />
comprehensive review of histopathology and molecular<br />
diagnostics as applied to a wide variety of organ<br />
systems.<br />
<strong>OBJECTIVES</strong><br />
• To provide an in-depth and updated review of many<br />
important topics related to the histopathology of<br />
neoplastic conditions.<br />
• To provide a background understanding and<br />
applicability of the main molecular diagnostic tests<br />
to tumours in a wide range of organs.<br />
• To foster opportunities for research and<br />
international collaboration.<br />
• To provide a forum for networking and exchange of<br />
experience as well as opportunities for regional cooperation<br />
including support for training and CME<br />
activities.<br />
<strong>SUITABILITY</strong><br />
This workshop is suitable for both general and subspecialised<br />
pathologists as well as pathologists in<br />
training programs (residents).<br />
