The ASIP Education Committee reviewed critiques of past symposia whose objective has been to demonstrate how advances in the understanding of pathogenesis can be applied to surgical pathology practice. The committee felt this should continue to be the focus. Pathologists need new strategies to solve key differential diagnostic problems for tumors. The objective of this program is to demonstrate how advances in the understanding of molecular pathogenesis and diagnostic techniques can lead to better diagnostic and prognostic tests.
