Expert Consultation Conference on Intraductal Carcinoma of the Prostate

Genitourinary Pathology Society (GUPS) and International Society of Urologic Pathology (ISUP) have jointly organized an expert consultation conference on IDC-P, that will take place during the USCAP meeting in Boston, on Saturday 22nd of March 2025 from 1 to 5 pm.

The background is that the partially contradictory recommendations concerning the grading of IDC-P issued by the two uropathology societies have been confusing to pathologists and clinicians alike. Therefore, we sincerely hope to reconcile these discrepancies by discussing these in a joint half-day meeting.

Before the Boston in-person meeting, an expert panel of 30 pathologists nominated by both societies have been using a Delphi Method to achieve consensus on variety of pressing issues and gaps in knowledge pertaining to IDC-P.

The Boston meeting is open to members of both societies. We will provide the link with a finalized proposal by an expert panel to you for comments during the in-person Boson meeting. There will be no voting during the meeting.

Finally, we will provide more details regarding the location of the meeting once these are finalized.

Sincerely,

Rajal B. Shah, M.D., President of GUPS

Glen Kristiansen, M.D., President of ISUP

Murali Varma, M.D.

Ming Zhou, M.D., Ph.D.
