Major lecture in pathology.

Scientific focal points:

Molecular tumour pathology with examinations of cytostatic resistance, predictive medicine testing and tumour-associated genetic changes.
New diagnostic procedures in histological and molecular-pathological diagnostics of malignant tumours with a particular focus on gyneacopathology.
Technical development of telepathology systems.
