[b]Aim[/b]: To give an update on immunohistochemical markers, antibodies and methods used in diagnostic pathology for the unknown primary tumour, solid tumours in various organs, and malignant lymphomas. The workshop will particularly focus on
- planning and diagnostic use of antibody panels
- optimization of staining protocols for histological and cytological material
- use of control tissues and identification of critical stain quality indicators
- identification and handling of technical and diagnostic pitfalls.
