International
Workshop on
Bone Marrow
Pathology
We would like to thank for their valuable support:
The 12th EBMWG International Workshop on Bone Marrow Pathology will be held in
Milan, at Auditorium G. Testori of the Lombardia Palace, on 16th-19th April 2015.
The Workshop traditionally brings together worldwide renowned international
hematopathologists and hematologists to present the latest developments in this
area of research and is of particular interest for haematopathologists, general pathologists and hematologists from around the world. The peculiar goals of Milan
Workshop will include: 1) to present the updated WHO classification of bone marrow
neoplasms; 2) to integrate morphology with the most recent molecular pathology
achievements; 3) to discuss the main differential diagnoses in bone marrow pathology as well as modifications after therapy.
A short, basic course for beginners in bone marrow pathology will be available the
day earlier the official opening of the Workshop. Alongside scientific presentations,
bone marrow pathology cases sent by delegates will also be analyzed and discussed
in ad hoc workshop sessions.
