CASE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All cases will be organized into sessions using the topics chosen by the submitter in the online system but may be rescheduled at the discretion of the Workshop Panel.
Please note the following guidelines for case submission. The online submission system will automatically enforce these guidelines:
- Case text is limited to 3,500 characters
- Please structure your case as follows:
- Clinical Information
- Description of Submitted Tissues
- Details of Microscopic Findings
- Immunophenotype
- Cytogenetics
- Molecular Studies
- Proposed Diagnosis/ses
- Interesting Features of Case
- Extensive molecular characterization (the whole exome sequencing and whole genome RNA expression analysis with interpretation of these data) is offered free of charge to the workshop participants for inclusion in their presentations. Up to 4 samples may be submitted per case for molecular characterization.
- Tissue Submission:
- Tissue Type 1: Stained H&E Slides (required). Each case should include the submission of (2) two H&E slides of representative tissue per specimen. These slides will be used for any required additional review by the planning committee and they may also be made available to all workshop attendees in the form of digital whole slide imaging, if your case is selected for individual presentation.
- Tissue Type 2: Unstained Tissue for Whole Exome+ mRNA Sequencing (optional). This comprehensive molecular analysis will be performed on all submitted cases at no additional cost to the authors. The tissue submission is not required, in particular for cases with an already extensive and informative molecular profiling, but is highly recommended as a unique opportunity to gain detailed insight into genomics of transformation. Unstained tissue for sequencing should be in the form of at least (7) seven ten-micron scrolls of FFPE tissues in an Eppendorf tube (much preferred) or (7) seven ten-micron unstained slides.
-
Please upload your slides (max. 10 MB, PowerPoint) using the provided template.
-
- All cases must contain original work and content that has not been published in a peer-review journal.
- The case submission fee is 35 USD.
- Please check spelling and grammar carefully. All cases will be published as submitted. Cases must be submitted in English.
