Dear colleague,

On the road to patient tailored medicine, breast pathology is facing a huge challenge due to new morphological, molecular, and therapeutic insights. These developments urge the pathologist not only to correlate his or her findings to imaging results and to assess tumor type, grade, and stage accurately, but also to learn how to deal with molecular (biomarker) testing. This knowledge is essential to appreciate the prognostic and therapeutic consequences of our actions and to optimize the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

To maintain competence and learn about new and developing areas in the field of breast pathology, we cordially invite pathologists and pathology residents in the 4th or 5th year of their training for the 5th Dutch Breast Pathology Course on May 17th and 18th, 2011. This interactive and multidisciplinary course consists of workshops, case studies, and lectures about relevant developments. Aiming at a dynamic and instructive meeting, we are looking forward to your participation.

With kind regards,

Jelle Wesseling
