ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Rules and Important Notes for Abstract Submission

Scientific studies aligned with the meeting's core topics (molecular pathology, hepato-pancreato-biliary and gastrointestinal system pathology) will be accepted. Case presentations will not be accepted.

Abstracts must be submitted online in English via the congress website using the abstract submission system above. Submitted abstracts must not have been presented at another national congress. If the submitted abstract has previously been presented at an international congress, this must be stated and the order of authors must remain the same. Abstracts submitted via e-mail or regular mail will not be accepted. If the submitted abstracts are accepted, they will be published exactly as uploaded to the system; therefore, please pay attention to English grammar rules and carefully review your abstract before submission. Abstracts that do not comply with the writing guidelines will be excluded from evaluation regardless of their content. The corresponding author must complete congress registration by September 4, 2026. Abstracts of authors who do not complete registration by this date will not be published in the congress abstract book.

Abstract Writing Guidelines

• Abstracts will be collected through the online abstract submission system.
• Abstracts must be submitted by selecting either “Poster Presentation” or “Oral Presentation.” Following scientific evaluation, the preferred presentation type may be changed. Such changes will be communicated to the corresponding author via the acceptance letter sent by e-mail.
• The most appropriate subject category for the abstract should be selected during submission.
• If abbreviations are used in the abstract, the full term must be written out at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.
• The entire abstract, excluding the title, author names, and institution names, must not exceed 300 words.
• Abstract Title: The abstract title should be clear, concise, and descriptive of the study.
  Only the first letter of the abstract title should be capitalized. Abbreviations are exceptions.
• Author Names and Institutions: Academic titles should not be used in author names.
  Only the first letter of first and last names should be capitalized; the remaining letters should be lowercase.
  The names and addresses of the institutions where the authors work must be specified.
  Author information must be entered into the designated fields during submission.
  Institution and author information must not appear within the abstract text.
• Abstracts must consist of the sections “Objective,” “Materials and Methods” (institution name must not be included), “Results,” and “Conclusion.”
  The objective or hypothesis must be clearly stated.
• The materials and methods section should briefly and clearly define the study type (retrospective, prospective, randomized, controlled, blinded, etc.), inclusion/exclusion criteria for study and control groups, evaluation criteria, ethical approval or consent if applicable, and statistical methods used. Institution names must not be included in submitted abstracts.
• Results should be presented in accordance with the methods and summarized clearly with numerical details.
• The conclusion section should clearly and explicitly state the conclusions. Results should be interpreted within the framework of the findings; if comparisons with other studies are made, this should be indicated, and the strengths and weaknesses of the study should be emphasized.
• If the study was supported by a fund, this must be stated as a footnote.

Information About Full-Text Submission

Authors wishing to upload a full text must first upload the abstract to the system and then click the “Upload Full Text” button at step 8 to add the related file. Uploading a full text is not mandatory.

During preparation of the abstract book:

• Abstracts with uploaded full texts will be published as full texts.
• Abstracts with only summaries uploaded will be published as abstracts.

Evaluation of Abstracts

The evaluation will be conducted online by reviewers appointed by the Abstract Evaluation Committee determined by the working groups, with the names/surnames and institutions of the researchers kept confidential. Based on the reviewers’ evaluations, “Abstract Acceptance” or “Abstract Rejection” letters will be sent to the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Results may also be followed in the “Abstract Results” section of the congress website.
