Royal Microscopical Society and Institute of Cancer Research.

A one day meeting:
Flow Cytometry Immunophenotyping of Leukaemia and Lymphoma.

Monday 27th November 2000.

Conference Centre, Royal Marsden Hospital,
Fulham Road, London SW3 6JJ.

This year we have decided to organise this traditional flow cytometry meeting,
normally held in June, during the month of November. This
was decided because of exceptional circumstances and  the
extraordinary number of flow cytometry meetings organised
during this year. These include the ISAC meeting in
Montpellier and Pathology 2000 in Birmingham both in May
and the Bench Top Flow Cytometry meeting in Newcastle in
July.

The RMS is the only society in the UK which is active in the promotion of
Flow Cytometry by the organisation of meetings and courses
throughout the UK, and I am grateful for their support in
the organisation of this meeting.

The aim of the meeting is to discuss the main aspects of the use of flow cytometry
in the diagnosis of leukaemia and lymphoma. In particular
to highlight the common problems encountered when doing the
immunological techniques and interpreting the results.
The meeting will be of interest to both people who are new in the field and those
with some experience.

Some changes have been made to the contents of this year meeting. An extensive and
varied number of  topics from the routine use of flow
cytometry will be covered, such as the common pitfalls and
mistakes in the analysis of cell of markers and topics of
current interest such as detection of P53, and apoptosis.
The participation of the sponsoring companies with a brief presentation of their
latest products will be also of interest to the
participants.

The afternoon session will include the popular case presentations of the most
interesting cases encountered over the past year and participants are encouraged
to bring cases of interest to discuss. This year I am
grateful for  the support offered by Terry Hoy and his team
of the Department of Haematology of the University of Wales
College of Medicine, Cardiff.

Finally this year I included  the Guest Lecture "CD34 auto/allo transplantation".
This year will be given by Dr. Bruno Brando form Italy. Dr
Giola Driva from the Metaxa Hospital (Greece) will talk
about the detection of DNA ploidy in leukaemia.
