CHICAGO, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- How has one of the worst natural disasters in American history helped shape and advance global health initiatives through pathology? How did serendipity play a part in discovering the cause of ulcers and gastric cancer? What does the future hold for developments in lung cancer research and diagnosis?

These and a host of other questions will be answered as some 700 members of the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) gather in New Orleans to explore "The Heart and Science of Pathology," Oct 18 - 21 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside.
