The European Society of Toxicologic Pathology (ESTP) was established in October 2002 by a transition of the "Gesellschaft für Toxikologische Pathologie" (GTP). The former GTP members felt that it was important to adapt to future challenges and form a strong Europe oriented international society.
The goals of Their European Society of Toxicologic Pathology (ESTP) are:
• To organize scientifically attractive annual meetings
• To obtain more visibility by authorities/agencies,
• To actively promote toxicologic pathology,
• To contribute to guidelines by comments and proposals,
• To participate in scientific working groups (e.g. historical tumor control data),
• To offer training courses in toxicological pathology and related fields,
• At last but not least to collaborate intensively with the other Societies of Toxicological Pathology.
