All concurred that specific problem areas of liver pathology addressed by speakers known to be highly knowledgeable in each area would be sought. The objectives are to educate the attendees regarding diagnostic problems in well-differentiated hepatocellular tumors, vascular lesions, acute hepatitis, and cholestatic liver disease.
