Atlantic Regional Hematopathology Meeting
Presented by Fox Chase Cancer Center and the Temple Health Office for Continuing Medical Education, this in-person education program is designed to focus on the role of molecular pathology and new technologies in diagnosis, prognostic stratification, and treatment of complex cases. Participants will gain insights into the significant changes, updates, and new categories in the 5th Edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Hematolympoid Tumors. Renowned invited pathologists and senior authors of the new WHO edition-Dr. Joseph Khoury, Dr. German Ott, and Dr. Sanam Loghavi-will discuss notable updates, modications, and new classifications in the morphology and molecular genetics of hematologic neoplasms that can be immediately applied in practice. As usual, there will be case-based podium presentations followed by discussion. A poster session will also take place.
