Update:
In June Edinburgh is hosting the joint Pathological Society/IAP meeting and the programme is excellent. I cannot recommend the meeting too highly.
This is a much overdue update of the site with a new 'Image of the Quarter". I hope you like it.
I have some new cases of DCIS and related conditions which I intend to upload in the next few weeks. I will do these in the format of a slide seminar so they will be available under the @Case Material@ link. It will be highlighted here when it goes live.
The site is now well into its 7th year since it went live in February/March 2006. I am grateful
to all the vistors who help to encourage its further growth and development. Visitor numbers continue
to rise and are now at about 17,000 a month.
I am absolutely delighted to continue to work with colleagues on the Sloane Project. We have previously updated the ADH page on that site and I have
used those images and text to update this site's Sloane Project ADH page in line with that. The Sloane Project is going from strength to strength.
The steering group is immensely fortunate to have been guided by the expert chairmanship of Hugh Bishop until earlier this year (now succeeded by Professor Alastair Thompson) with fantastic support from the West Midlands Cancer Intelligence Unit and the NHS Breast Screening Programme.
We are well advanced in consolidating our data and I believe some really exciting outputs can be anticipated.
