Expert Pathologists Discuss the Latest Developments in Molecular Testing and Personalized Medicine

The College of American Pathologists is taking a leadership role in making sure that its members are ready for the future as central members of the patient care team. These topics as well as the latest on testing and diagnosing cancer will be the focus of the College's annual meeting, CAP '08 - The Pathologists' Meeting(TM). The meeting will be held on Sept. 25 - 28, 2008, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego.

At CAP '08, expert pathologists from around the globe will lead education seminars that provide practical tools, which can be incorporated immediately into pathology practices. Hot topics include genetic testing and the impact of increased requests for clinical consultations stemming from those tests; the current and future uses of telepathology to increase the quality and efficiency of pathology services; and the changing role of pathologists on the patient care team. An entire curriculum will focus on a comprehensive approach to gastrointestinal pathology. Courses will also examine the most recent testing guidelines for the human papillomavirus (HPV), the leading cause of cervical cancer.
