The BLPG hybrid bi-annual meeting featuring expert presentations on lymphoma subtypes, NGS and clinical-pathological integration in DLBCL, alongside case discussions, an EQA session, and a business meeting.

TOPICS COVERED

• The BLPG Autumn Meeting 2025, taking place on Friday, 21 November at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, with virtual access via Zoom, promises a comprehensive and engaging program for haematopathology professionals. The day will commence with an insightful exploration of follicular and marginal zone lymphomas, featuring distinguished experts discussing the latest advances in germinal centre B-cell subsets, diagnostic challenges, and overlapping mutation profiles in thyroid B-cell lymphomas.
• Following a coffee break, the focus will shift to next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications in haematopathology, highlighting case selection, mutation profiling, and future target priorities.
• After lunch, the program will delve into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL), addressing clinical-pathological collaboration and molecular subtyping to meet evolving clinical needs.
• The afternoon will also include dynamic case presentations and a detailed discussion on external quality assessment (EQA), culminating in the BLPG business meeting.
• This thoughtfully curated event offers a valuable opportunity for professional development, knowledge exchange, and networking within the lymphoma pathology community.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

• Consultants in haematopathology: Stay updated on the latest advances in lymphoma diagnostics, molecular pathology, and clinical integration.
