The William O. Russell Annual Conference: Nuts and Bolts in Surgical Pathology 2026

The William O. Russell Annual Conference: Nuts and Bolts in Surgical Pathology is organized by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and will be held from Dec 04 - 05, 2026 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, United States of America.

Overview:
This activity in Diagnostic Surgical Pathology provides an in-depth exploration of current and emerging concepts in tumor classification, challenging diagnostic scenarios, and the molecular advances shaping modern pathology. Designed to elevate diagnostic accuracy and confidence, the program equips participants with practical strategies to navigate complex cases, recognize diagnostic pitfalls, and integrate new testing modalities into routine practice. Through expert led lectures, interactive discussions, and real-world case studies, attendees gain actionable insights and updated tools that directly support high quality, precise patient care in surgical pathology.

Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:

1. Recognize significant updates and emerging trends in diagnostic and surgical pathology that influence current clinical practice.
2. Integrate updated diagnostic criteria and biomarker developments to improve accuracy in evaluating neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions.
3. Incorporate molecular and immunohistochemical testing more effectively to strengthen diagnostic interpretation and support high-quality patient care.
