The 15th Edition of the Molecular Cytopathology Meeting will highlight the evolving role of cytopathologists in managing small tissue samples, at the crossroads of morphology and precision oncology. As cytology and small biopsies increasingly converge in both workflow and diagnostic relevance, the meeting will explore new opportunities for integration in molecular testing, reporting systems, and daily practice. Through multidisciplinary, organ-based sessions, and with the participation of leading national and international experts, the program will address current challenges as well as future perspectives in small sample diagnostics, with the goal of redefining the role of cytopathology within modern oncologic pathways
