On behalf of the Presidents of the Austrian, Croatian, Hungarian, and Slovenian Societies of Pathology and the respective Divisions of the IAP we would like to invite you to attend the Pannonia Congress in Graz Austria, March 4–6, 2010. The program of the congress is focused on Lung, Head & Neck, and Bone & Soft Tissue tumors. Additional sessions will cover preneoplasia, common inflammatory processes, and others. Slide courses will be prepared for these organ topics. We will organize lunch satellite symposia on targeted therapy and the impact of pathology in this field.
Molecular pathology as a relevant method will be included in the presentations.
March 3, two pre-congress laboratory courses are planned for EGF receptor mutation test methodology and on FISH/CISH/SISH result interpretation. The lab courses aim on technicians (EGFR mutation test) and young academic colleagues (amplification, translocation in tumor diagnosis).
