About the Annual Meeting

USCAP’s annual meeting is the largest gathering of pathologists in the world! Catch up on groundbreaking research; learn first-hand from pathology legends; network with your peers; see what’s new in the exhibit hall; delve deep into your specialty or gain a broader knowledge base: it all happens here.

Courses & Events

From the historic Maude Abbott Lecture and Nathan Kaufman Timely Topics lecture to more than 70 90-minute Short Courses; from Companion Society meetings to Interactive Microscopy – the sheer amount of pathology knowledge available to you at the Annual Meeting is astounding. And don’t forget the all-attendee party, which is always a highlight of the meeting!

Sponsors & Exhibitors

The exhibit hall is where all of pathology gathers to see what’s new, from textbooks to diagnostic tools and everything in between. Get your headshot taken, review this year’s posters, and browse the aisles to talk with our exhibitors and sponsors.

Networking

For many people, the highlight of USCAP’s Annual Meeting is the opportunity to get together with former colleagues, mentors, and new friends.

Dr. Yasodha Natkunam delivers a
Long Course Lecture; 2026

"Challengse and Controversies in Hematopathology: Classification Dilemmas in Search of Solutions"

Our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors has advanced greatly in the last decade. The explosion of next generation technologies and novel complex molecular testing methodologies have made it possible to interrogate tumor genomes with such precision that the promise of ‘personalized’ medicine is becoming realized. However, this plethora of information also necessitates constant reappraisal of disease definitions and diagnostic criteria. The practice of hematopathology today requires the integration of numerous types of ancillary studies to render a diagnosis as well as provide guidance for highly nuanced patient management strategies.

This Long Course aims to examine specific knowledge gaps and areas of complexity in our current understanding of disease processes across a spectrum of selected challenging myeloid and lymphoid disorders. We will answer the following questions: How do I integrate morphology with ancillary testing results? What tests should I order to make sure I am covering the differential diagnostic considerations? How do I balance practical considerations with completeness in working up hematolymphoid neoplasms? Am I using the latest testing methodologies to address the clinical questions?

Each lecture will be accompanied by a case that illustrates a particular diagnostic challenge, showing how to approach difficult scenarios in an efficient yet comprehensive manner. At the end of the course, the learners will have improved understanding on how to workup and diagnose common and unusual myeloid, histiocytic, B-cell, and T-cell proliferations and what appropriate immunophenotypic and genetic testing to perform.
