title: [Recognition of the importance of reversed CPC in CPC].
abstract: Clinicopathological conferences (CPC) are one of the most important clinical conferences, and processes of both diagnosis and treatment performed in an autopsy case are retrospectively and finely checked to offer better medical treatment in the future. In CPC, the medical history, physical findings, laboratory data, image findings, diagnosis and treatment are discussed in the order that a physician examines a patient. Differential diagnoses usually decrease and several important diagnoses remain as the CPC discussion progresses. Medical treatment is also reexamined to identify a better approach. In this CPC, several medical doctors in various special fields try to understand the detailed state of the patient from each standpoint, and such a CPC is called an Expert CPC at Shinshu University School of Medicine. This CPC is carried out followed by reversed-CPC (R-CPC) of the same case. The purpose of this CPC is to understand the importance of R-CPC and to understand the correct interpretation of routine laboratory data.
