2023 Hematology Highlights: A Post-ASH Review
The University of Nebraska Medical Center has sponsored this regional conference for the last 16 years. This year's conference is designed to update the target audience on new treatments and management of acute and chronic leukemia, thrombosis/hemostasis, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms as presented during the 2022 annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology. Presentations will be delivered by key leaders while allowing the opportunity for participants to be involved in the interactive question/answer sessions.
Conference Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Articulate the mechanism of action surrounding new therapies and the process for appropriate patient selection when caring for those with hematologic malignancies, as well as non-malignant hematologic disorders.
- Analyze emerging data regarding new clinical, genetic, and molecular prognostic factors, and how to use them for improved precision approaches for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
- Discuss recent clinical trials demonstrating a reduction of treatment intensity involving therapies such as a combination of pharmacologic strategies when caring for those with hematologic malignancies.
- Summarize the impact of the evidence-based findings from the 2022 Annual ASH Meeting surrounding the management of hematologic malignancies and other disorders of thrombosis and hemostasis in clinical practice.
