Scientific Symposiums International 11th Annual Dr. Richard L. Kempson Diagnostic Pathology Course Updates in GI, GYN, Endocrine, Head and Neck, and Soft Tissue Lesions 2026

The 11th Annual Dr. Richard L. Kempson course examines diagnostic challenges across gastrointestinal, gynecologic, endocrine, head and neck, bone and soft tissue pathology. Its lectures connect morphologic assessment with immunohistochemistry, molecular classification and cancer staging, with attention to difficult differentials and changing terminology. Led by Teri M. Longacre, the four-day Scientific Symposiums International meeting took place July 13–16, 2026 at the Fairmont Orchid on Hawaii’s Kohala Coast. These study materials suit pathologists and trainees reviewing surgical pathology. The publisher’s 20-lecture outline is retained below, including faculty assignments; it describes the original program rather than confirming a count of delivered files.
