Pathology Update 2024
Biomarker and Molecular Testing in the Era of Precision Medicine: What Pathologists Need to Know
November 7 - 8, 2024 / Digital Conference
Learn about emergent developments and applications that are transforming the field of pathology.
Local and international experts will synthesize updates spanning all organ systems and sub-specialties of pathology. Large group learning activities and case-based discussions will share innovations spanning anatomical pathology and molecular pathology.
This year’s conference will revolve around the theme Molecular Testing in the Era of Precision Medicine: What Pathologists Need to Know.
Informed by a comprehensive approach, our speakers will cover a range of organ systems, including gynecologic, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, head and neck, and breast pathology. Attendees will refine skills for accurately classifying novel tumours and learn how molecular tools can supplement their diagnostic algorithms. The current standard of care for prognostic and therapeutic biomarker testing across organ systems will also be a focus.
Conference Highlights
-
Keynote presentation from Dr. Jeremy Segal (Professor, Department of Pathology, University of Chicago)
-
14 plenary sessions sharing the latest evidence in diagnostic pathology
Target Audience
Pathologists working in all sub-specialties, pathologists' assistants, and pathology residents and fellows.
Learning Objectives
The two-day digital conference will enable attendees to:
- Explain the requirements and limitations of molecular testing
- Identify relevant molecular tests for day-to-day clinical practice
- Assess the relevance of various clinically applicable molecular tests
- Review and describe common challenging problems in molecular pathology
- Report clinically relevant combined histological findings and ancillary tests, including molecular tests, to personalize patient management
