2025 Hematology Highlights: A Post-ASH Review
The University of Nebraska Medical Center has proudly sponsored this regional conference for the past 18 years. This year’s conference is designed to provide the latest updates on key topics in hematology and oncology, focusing on myeloid diseases, lymphoid and plasma cell disorders, clotting diseases, and geriatric oncology, as highlighted at the 2024 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology. Expert presenters, including leading specialists in these fields, will share cutting-edge research and treatment advancements. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in interactive Q&A sessions, promoting meaningful discussions and enhancing knowledge of these critical topics.
