Conference Description

The 17th International Surgical Pathology Symposium addresses unique challenges and problems encountered in today’s practice. Participants will simultaneously review case histories, examine images by virtual microscopy, and formulate diagnoses. The unique subtleties and differentiating characteristics of each diagnosis will then be highlighted. Participants will also discuss the patient management strategy used in each case.

During the four-day conference, 38 cases will be presented and discussed. Three to four specialty areas will be featured each day. Cases will be presented in breast pathology, cytopathology, dermatopathology, gastrointestinal pathology, genitourinary pathology, gynecological pathology, hematopathology and soft tissue pathology.
