13^th International Conference on Pathology and Molecular Diagnosis June 26-27, 2017 HILTON SAN DIEGO MISSION VALLEY, San Diego, California,USA

Pathology 2017 is going to be held at San Diego, California, USA during June 26-27, 2017. The conference is organized with the theme "To Frame an Admiring Portal for Pioneering Pathological Findings" which comprised of 12 sessions/tracks designed to offer comprehensive sessions that address current issues in the field of Pathology.

Pathology is a branch of medical science primarily concerning the examination of organs, tissues, and bodily fluids in order to make a diagnosis of disease. Pathology is a major field in modern medical practice and health care. Pathology outlines the disease condition and treatment by using different pathology laboratory techniques. Pathology is used in the diagnosis, treatment and management of an increasing range of clinical conditions. Pathology investigations are an integral part of the clinical consultation and procedural process with overseas studies indicating that 70-80 per cent of all health care decisions affecting diagnosis or treatment involve a pathology investigation. 40% of pathology testing is used for diagnostic purposes, 40% for monitoring and 20% for preventative purposes.

The changes coming to Pathology represent a tremendous opportunity for innovation and technological advancement, but they also carry with them a potential for disruption. Embracing market dynamics is an important step that pathology labs should take to seize the opportunities while minimizing the disruption. The digital pathology is a new technology that has digitalized the instruments used in the pathology labs for testing. Digital pathology adds steps in the technical workflow. The digitalization has led to the automation of the tests done during the diagnosis procedures. For example, a single digital instrument operated by a single pathologist can perform tests that were previously done using five instruments. North America accounted for the largest share of the global digital pathology market, followed by Europe and Asia. The dominance of the North American market can be attributed to the favorable reimbursement scenario in the U.S. and the use of digital pathology to improve the quality of cancer diagnosis in Canada.

Theme: To Frame an Admiring Portal for Pioneering Pathological Findings

Track 1: Molecular Pathology

Molecular pathology is an emerging discipline within pathology which is concentrated in the study and conclusion of ailment through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular pathology imparts a few parts of practice with drug development, disease management strategies and is sometimes considered a crossover discipline. It is multi-disciplinary in nature and concentrates primarily on the sub-minute parts of diseases. A key consideration is that more accurate diagnosis is possible when the diagnosis is based on both the morphologic changes in tissues and on molecular testing of diseases like cancer. In this sub topics Molecular pathology is very useful in drug development and cancer. There are 5 associations and societies and the main association for Molecular Pathology is the Association of Molecular Pathology in USA. 78 universities are working on Molecular Pathology. Companies and hospitals around USA are associated with pathology. NIH has released $197,088 for Molecular Pathology research.

Track 3: Dermatopathology

Dermatopathology is a joint subspecialty of dermatology and pathology and to a lesser extent of surgical pathology that focuses on the study of cutaneous diseases at a microscopic and molecular level. It also encompasses analyses of the potential causes of skin diseases at a basic level. In fact, most of them are trained primarily in dermatology themselves. Dermatologists are able to recognize most skin diseases based on their appearances, anatomic distributions, and behavior. Sometimes, however, those criteria do not allow a conclusive diagnosis to be made, and a skin biopsy is taken to be examined under the microscope or subject to other molecular tests. That process reveals the histology of the disease and results in a specific diagnostic interpretation. In some cases, additional specialized testing needs to be performed on biopsies, including immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, and molecular-pathologic analysis.
