Since 1998 general annual meetings of the IELSG investigators have been regularly held to discuss the ongoing studies and to propose or plan future studies (see the programs below). Participation is open to all clinicians, pathologists, and scientists who have a professional interest in extranodal lymphomas. Thus far we have been able to avoid registration fees but the REGISTRATION IS NEEDED

In addition, workshops of chairpersons and investigators of individual studies and pathology review sessions have been, and will be, organized. All the relevant informations on these activities will be regularly updated in the IELSG Newsletters and posted in the website.

The next IELSG annual meeting will be held in Lugano, Switzerland on April 20-21, 2012
