This conference explores advances in gastrointestinal and liver pathology, focusing on the interpretation of biopsies, the role of biomarkers, and the latest developments in neoplastic and liver disease diagnostics. Expert-led sessions will cover key topics, including the histopathology of GI neoplasms, emerging molecular markers, updates in liver disease classification, and best practices in biopsy interpretation. Attendees will be provided with the latest evidence-based approaches and case-based discussions to enhance diagnostic accuracy of GI biopsies and identification of liver disease.
