Saturday, 30. September 2023 An Update in Cytomorphology

PROF. DR. FERNANDO SCHMITT SERÁ O PRESIDENTE DO CONGRESSO INTERNACIONAL DE CITOLOGIA EM 2022

Durante o último congresso da American Society of Cytopathology, o Prof. Dr. Fernando Schmitt foi designado como Presidente do Congresso Internacional de Citologia que vai ser realizado em Baltimore, Estados Unidos, no período de 14 a 19 de Novembro de 2022. Pela primeira vez o congresso da Academia Internacional de Citologia vai ser realizado em conjunto com a Sociedade Americana de Citopatologia. Neste mesmo ano não vai ser realizado o congresso europeu de citologia e o congresso latinoameriano de citologia, sendo portanto esperado um grande número de inscritos de todo o mundo para este congresso. Convidamos a toda comunidade citológica de Portugal e todos os sócios da SPC para estarem presentes neste evento.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to inform you that the 44th European Congress of 
Cytology will be held in Budapest, Hungary, from 1-4 October 2023.

The homepage of the congress is already active: https://cytology2023.eu/

You are kindly invited to visit the homepage and sign up for the 
newsletter. We also request you to distribute the information among 
your members.

The two leading mottos of the conference are „combined intelligence” 
and „melting point”.
“The diagnosis by aspiration is as reliable as the combined 
intelligence of the clinician and pathologist makes it.” (Stewart, 
1933). This statement is still true in the 21th century, in the 
century of data based combined natural and even artificial intelligence.
The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which a solid 
and liquid phase may coexist in equilibrium. It is desirable the reach 
this equilibrium of different ideas and thoughts in all facets of 
cytopathology. The Congresses main purpose in finding the acceptable 
equilibria points following discussions, debates during sessions, 
slide seminars, Companion Meetings and every official and private 
exchange of thoughts – using everywhere the combined intelligence.

By this letter we would like to invite all member countries to hold 
Companion Meetings at the congress.

For the Companion Meetings the congress offers:
A time slot of 45-60 minutes.
A breakout room for 50-100 PAX equipped with general conference 
audio-visual technique (no microscopes).
Advertising the meeting in the Scientific Program based on the 
information from the “Companion” on the website and in Final Program 
(on- and/or off-line)

The Companions are kindly requested to:
Inform us that they would like to organize a meeting, preferably 
before 30 September 2022.
Compile the scientific contents of the meeting.
Arrange for the registration of all speakers.


We look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting you in Budapest 
next year.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 
scientific@cytology2023.eu

This online course provides organ-specific detailed molecular training, as well as general teaching on molecular assays and test selection. The course will empower cytopathologists to serve as experts in molecular cytopathology for both test selection and results interpretation.

In addition, following this course, cytopathologists can serve as an essential resource to guide oncologists, proceduralists, and surgeons on test utilization and interpretation.

Caros colegas,

A Sociedade Portuguesa de Citologia tem o prazer de divulgar a abertura das inscrições para o Worldvision Cytopathology Contest.

Este concurso é uma iniciativa com carácter global da Sociedade Americana de Citopatologia (American Society of Cytopathology – ASC), destinando-se a internos, fellows e citotécnicos e tendo como objectivo a partilha de conhecimento científico numa competição única que terá lugar na reunião anual da ASC.

Os candidatos a concurso deverão apresentar um caso interessante de citopatologia, que deverá incluir pontos práticos e/ou referencias a inovações em citomorfologia ou técnicas complementares, conforme o seguinte regulamento:

“The presenters, who would compete in the WCC, will present an interesting cytopathology case and would offer practical take-home points and/or new highlights on innovations in cytomorphology or ancillary techniques.

• The contest is open to medical students, pathology residents, cytopathology fellows, cytotechnology students or a junior pathologist or cytotechnologist within one year of completion of training. The presenter is the first author of the proposal.

• The submitted case must not have been published before the presentation at the ASC Annual Scientific Meeting. The five finalists will be chosen from five different countries.

• The winner will be determined by a panel of judges based on the scientific content, presentation style and skills, and confidence when handling questions at the end of the presentation.

• The five finalists will receive waived registration at the ASC Annual Scientific Meeting. The winner will get a wall plaque and a USD 250 cash award.

• The first contest will be held during the American Society of Cytopathology 67^th Annual Scientific Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, November 14-17, 2019.”

A deadline é a 15 de Maio de 2019!

A candidatura deverá ser feita aqui: https://cytopathology.wufoo.com/forms/z1fgpuwo0jcqrmr/

A SPC disponibiliza-se a patrocinar a viagem, se um dos nosso sócios for escolhido e chegar à final.
