The primary objective of the event is to offer the participants a comprehensive review of problematic areas in gynecological pathology.

During this event, various lectures and slide seminars  will cover topics regarding sampling and diagnosis in vulvar, vaginal,and cervical pathology (introducing recent advances, upcoming WHO classification of female genital tract tumors 2026 and the latest FIGO staging system). The presentations will focus on how to recognize the most important morphologic features, deal with differential diagnosis, stage and report these lesions so that the clinician will understand and choose the best management for the patient.

The participants will be able to attend several lectures focused not only on the main morphological diagnostic criteria but also on ancillary stains, molecular-genetic tools, with a particular attention to be paid to the differential diagnosis as well as most recent international guidelines providing treatment and follow-up information. As artificial intelligence has been recently introduced in many medical fields including pathology, we will give an update on application of artificial inteligence in pathology of the lower female genital tract.

At the end of each lecture, a Q&A session woll provide the opportunity to ask questions and interract with the speaker.

Being currently Officer-at-Large on the Board Committee of International Society of Gynecological Pathologists, member of the ISGyP Global Advisory Network, member of the expert panel of International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) Carcinoma of the Cervix dataset allows me to participate in the best pathology scientific meetings and to select top speakers. During this webinar, we are privileged to have world recognised top speakers from Australia, USA, Canada and Romania.

A detailed scientific program with titles of the presentations will be uploaded to the website ( www.patologia.ro ).

This webinar is primarily aimed at practicing pathologists and residents, nevertheless, its multidisciplinary nature makes it relevant for other specialists as well (surgeons, oncologists, general practitioners, general laboratory medicine, biologists).
