Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to invite you to the 105th annual meeting of The Japanese Society of Pathology , which will be held at Sendai International Center between May 12-14, 2016 and is the largest and most influential meeting of pathologists in Asia.
We will address various aspects of pathology practice and research throughout the meeting. The meeting will reflect the interdisciplinary nature of pathology research and practice including the state of art application to the understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of the diseases and the close collaboration between clinicians and pathologists. We will also plan three day long special course structured to provide in-depth knowledge of basic aspects of endocrine pathology including pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and neuroendocrine tumors because endocrine pathology is very important but rather difficult to approach field of pathology due to the complicated histology and hormonal-morphological correlation. We will also plan various short courses , organ or topic-oriented pathology course to keep the participants updated on the knowledge of pathology research and practice.
