Rodger C. Haggitt Gastrointestinal Pathology Society’s mission is to emphasize the importance of gastrointestinal pathology as a sophisticated and complex area of pathology. The Education Committee in consultation with Society officers determined the title, contents, and speakers of this companion meeting. The topics chosen address colorectal cancer prognostic factors that are currently not routinely reported. The program also addresses challenging issues in colorectal cancer reporting.

The target audience includes practicing pathologists, academic pathologists, pathology residents and fellows with an interest in colorectal cancer, (the third most common cancer worldwide with major morbidity and mortality).

Upon completion of this education activity, participants should be able to understand: 1) the importance of and proper reporting of tumor budding; 2) how to increase venous invasion detection; 3) the significance of endocrine differentiation in colorectal cancer; 4) practical molecular diagnostics, and 5) Current AJCC reporting of colorectal cancer.
