XIV EBMWG International Course & Workshop on Bone Marrow Pathology

XIV EBMWG International Course & Workshop on Bone Marrow Pathology is organized by European Bone Marrow Working Group (EBMWG) and will be held from Apr 11 - 14, 2019 at Goethe University Frankfurt - Westend Campus, Frankfurt, Hessen, Germany.

Description:
The Workshop brings together worldwide renowned international experts to present the latest developments in hematopathology and is of interest for hematopathologists, general pathologists and hematologists from around the world. A full day foundation course in bone marrow pathology will be available at April 11.

The Frankfurt Workshop will cover diagnosis and disease progression in MPN, MDS and MDS/MPN and focus on borderline cases and overlap syndromes. Genetic evolution of progressive disease and diagnostic utility of newer molecular markers will be emphasized. Bone marrow pathology cases sent by delegates will also be analyzed and discussed in specific workshop sessions.
