COMPANION MEETING

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR CLINICAL PATHOLOGY




Sunday, February 12, 2006 — 7:30 PM — Regency V

  • The Best of the AJCP 2005: A Scientific Colloquium
  Selected papers published in the American Journal of Clinical Pathology (AJCP) during 2005 are presented during this evening session. Five papers have been judged to represent the most significant contributions to the practice of pathology in the past year of that Journal. A precis of each paper will be presented by the authors, and AJCP editorial board member Dr. Mark H. Stoler of the University of Virginia will moderate the session.

The primary objective of this presentation is to appreciate the significance of these published works. Following this program, participants will:
  • Understand whether CISH is a viable alternative for HER-2 analysis

  • Understand how clonality analysis can affect our concepts of metastasis

  • Appreciate that colorectal carcinoma may have a viral pathogenesis

  • Know how to distinguish NASH from ASH

  • Know how immunohistochemistry helps in the setting of PTLD?

Moderator: Mark H. Stoler, University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, Charlottesville, VA
