COMEDear colleagues

We cordially welcome you to the Joint Annual Meeting of the Swiss and Austrian Societies of Pathology in Baden, Switzerland.

We will hold this meeting in the spirit of cooperation and friendship in order tobroaden our professional skills and to develop our ties.Our scientific advisors in close cooperation with the local organizing committeehave put together an exciting and varied scientific program in order to meet thebroad needs of the participants. We are proud that many well-known international speakers have accepted our invitation.

We will focus on important recent developments in the fields of gastrointestinal, gynecologic, pulmonary, urologic and molecular pathology.The scientific symposia will be supplemented by oral and poster presentationsof research studies from different fields of pathology.

We hope you will enjoy the program.

Welcome to Baden

Prof. Dr. med. Gad Singer Prof. Dr. Laura Rubbia-Brandt President of the meeting President of the SSPath/SGPath

ist ein speziell für Brustkrebspatientinnen entwickelter Prognosetest. Er wurde mit dem Evidenzlevel 1 in die Behandlungsleitlinien der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Gynäkologi-sche Onkologie (AGO) aufgenommen. EndoPredict kann das Risiko einer frühen und – im Gegensatz zu vielen älteren Methoden – auch das Risiko der späten Metastasierung vorhersagen. Nur bei Patientinnen mit einer sehr guten Langzeitprognose kann auf eine Chemotherapie verzichtet werden. Als erster Test seiner Art wird der EndoPredict direkt in der örtlichen Pathologie als ärztliche Leistung angeboten. Das Ergebnis kann bereits nach einem Tag vorliegen und ermöglicht eine zeitnahe Planung der weiteren Therapieschritte.

SGad Singer graduated from the University of Zürich, Switzerland. After his general pathology training and board certification in surgical pathology in Switzerland he subspecialised in gynecologic pathology, under the mentorship of Robert J. Kurman at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore. Gad Singer has contributed to milestone research on molecular pathology of serous ovarian carcinoma. In this context, Gad Singer was awarded the Young Investigator Award of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists. Gad Singer has authored numerous peer-reviewed papers on ovarian and breast carcinoma. His current research focus remains serous ovarian cancer pathogenesis, progression and chemotherapy response. He is also member of the WHO Committee for Classification of Tumours of the Female Genital Tract (2013). Gad Singer is a professor of pathology at the University of Basel and holds a Swiss board certification in molecular pathology. After four years as attending physician at the Institute of Pathology of the University Hospital in Basel he was appointed to his current position as head of the Institute of Pathology of the Cantonal Hospital Baden, Switzerland. Currently, he is also President of the Board Exam Commission of the Swiss Society of Pathology and Local President of the organizing committee of this Joint Annual meeting of the Swiss and Austrian Societies of Pathology.

Sylvia Stadlmann graduated from the University of Innsbruck, Austria. From 1996–1998 she was post-doctoral research fellow at the Daniel Swarovski Research Laboratory, Department of General- and Transplant Surgery, Innsbruck Medical University, Austria. After her general pathology training and board certification in surgical pathology she subspecialized in cytopathology. Her particular clinical interest is liver pathology and she is co-author of the 3rd edition of the text-book “Pathologie: Leber, Gallenwege und Pankreas“, to be soon published by Springer. Her main research focus is the pathology of the abdominal cavity, mainly the interactions of ovarian carcinoma with the human peritoneum to which she has published many papers. She qualified as a professor at the University of Basel and is head of the Cytopathology Division at the Institute of Pathology of the Cantonal Hospital Baden, Switzerland.

Uwe Rogel graduated in biochemistry from the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf. During his studies he worked on the identification and characterization of chemotherapy-resistance-associated proteins in tumors from the Ewing‘s sarcoma family. After graduation he worked at the Institute of Pathology of the University Hospital Düsseldorf on various projects, including projects related to the EuroBoNeT Technology Platform (study of bone tumors – Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma). He then moved to Baden and works in the molecular pathology lab at the Institute of Pathology of the Cantonal Hospital Baden. There he is involved in routine molecular pathological analyses and research projects on ovarian carcinoma.

Laura Rubbia-Brandt completed her PhD in biology (Faculté des Sciences, Faculté de Médecine Université de Genève) (Prof.G. Gabbiani, Dpt de Pathologie) in 1993 with the thesis „Factors influencing the phenotype of smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts and in particular their expression of alpha smooth muscle actin“. Her thesis for Privat Docent (Faculté de médecine, Université de Genève) in 2002 was „Histopathology of hepatitis C virus infection: implications for pathogenesis in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed host“. Laura Rubbia-Brandt is Director of the Division of Clinical Pathology, Geneva University Hospital Switzerland and full professor in pathology where she teaches GI and liver Pathology at Geneva Medical School. She received her medical education at the University of Geneva, and her specialty training at the Division of Clinical Pathology, Geneva University Hospital Switzerland and Hôpital Beaujon, Paris, France. She is president of the Swiss Hepato-Biliary pathology group, section of the Swiss society of pathology, president of the Swiss society of pathology, active member of the board of the Swiss association of study of liver, referent pathologist of the Swiss Hepatitis C Cohort Study Group, and member of the GI pathology group of the Swiss Institute for Applied Cancer Research, member of the Unites States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP), Hans Pooper Liver pathology society, and the International Academy of Pathology (IAP). Laura Rubbia Brandt is the author of more than 160 scientific articles, book chapters and reviews. Her research interests are the pathogenesis of hepatic secondary effects neoadjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal metastasis and mechanisms and the role of HCV infection in the development of hepatic steatosis. Currently, she is President of the Swiss Society of Pathology (SSPath/SGPath).
