This session, presented by Mikkael Sekeres, MD, Chief of the Division of Hematology at the University of Miami Health System, will focus on predictive and prognostic markers for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), emerging data on novel therapies, and strategies to optimize safety and tolerability for patients with this disease.
Presented by Amir Fathi, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, this session will highlight individualized treatment selection for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), as well as recent efficacy and safety data for novel therapeutic strategies.
In this session, Morie Gertz, MD, Chair of General Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, will discuss how to use predictive and prognostic markers to select treatment for patients with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) and how to appraise emerging clinical trial data and adverse event management strategies for novel treatments.
Louis Diehl, MD, Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical School, will discuss strategies for incorporating predictive and prognostic markers, recent efficacy and safety data, and adverse event management strategies into treatment selection for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
In this session, John Leonard, MD, the Richard T. Silver Distinguished Professor of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine, will share insights on predictive and prognostic markers, emerging efficacy and safety data, and strategies to optimize tolerability for patients receiving novel therapies for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
After the conference, join us for a special networking session with our expert faculty presenters. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with faculty one-on-one and receive additional advice from the presenters. *This session requires additional fees.
