Scientific Contents

The ESP Congresses are 5-day annual international pathology congresses by the European Society of Pathology and the largest gatherings of pathologists in Europe. The aim is to provide an up-to-date scientific programme covering all major areas of diagnostic, translational, molecular and investigative pathology. Special emphasis will be put on both the recent discoveries and the reinforcement of close clinico-pathologial cooperation.

The core programme is being prepared with a strong input from the ESP Working Groups, ESP-affiliated Societies, Education and Trainee Subcomittees.

Expected educational outcome(s):

• Familiarity with all histological and molecular approaches that are essential, according to current evidence, in the management of diseases.
• Confidence in managing patients (screening, diagnosing, data reporting, and follow-up therapy) with neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders that are identified, according to the existing evidence, by pathological procedures.
• Identify major pitfalls and possible solutions in the diagnosis of certain clinical situations.
• Discuss and integrate the most up-to date knowledge and recent research findings in the field of human pathology.
• Identify opportunities for scientific collaborations worldwide.
