NEW DAY!New Approaches
in Acute Leukemias and Hematologic
MalignanciesWednesday, October 17
REGISTER TODAY: 800-233-0957; INTERNATIONAL: 678-242-0906
For the past 18 years, the Lymphoma & Myeloma Congress
has been recognized around the world as the most
respected forum for industry-leading hematologic research
—it’s where interdisciplinary specialists convene to explore
the controversial and the complex, the emerging and the
exciting, and discuss, debate, and discover along the way.
This year, make plans to join us for four days of
comprehensive learning as we examine new research,
discover innovative treatment methods, and analyze new
trends impacting the future of lymphoma, myeloma, and
leukemia disorders.

Who Should Attend
This educational activity is designed for domestic and international healthcare clinicians, including hematologists and hematologic oncologists, medical, radiation, and surgical oncologists, and other healthcare professionals (physicians, physicians-in-training, oncology nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physician assistants, etc.) who are involved and/or interested in the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of these educational activities, participants should be better able to:
» Interpret efficacy and safety results from recent clinical trials that led to the approval of new pharmacologic agents for the treatment of leukemias, lymphomas, or myeloma
» Assess the prognostic impact of molecular biomarkers and genetic mutations that are common to hematologic malignancies
» Evaluate the emerging role of immunotherapies as an intervention for hematologic malignancies that are known to have an immunologic component
» Devise tailored therapeutic strategies designed to realize optimal therapeutic response from hematologic cancer patients who are either fit or frail
» Describe the mechanisms of action of new or emerging treatments that are designed to target molecular biomarkers or genetic aberrations that are frequently observed in hematologic cancers
» Assess both established and recently pioneered sequencing and combination strategies for second-line or salvage therapy interventions
