We are delighted to announce the 7th SGH Breast Pathology Course – Unravelling Recurrent Issues in Breast Pathology.

Our 2 1/2 day breast pathology fiesta promises an exciting array of breast pathology cases which can be enjoyed through conventional light microscopy as well as via digital microscopy. Lectures incorporate common and recurrent diagnostic challenges in breast pathology practice. This year, we have a half-day workshop dedicated to detailed breast radiologypathology case studies (RPCS) which will feature our expert breast radiologists Dr Lester Leong and Dr Jill Wong

We are pleased to have Dr Aysegul and Dr Michael Bilous as our invited expert breast pathologists this year.
