Program OverviewThis program will explore research and advances in the diagnosis and management of benign hematologic conditions and hematologic malignancies, including indications for novel therapies. Aimed at community hematologists and oncologists, as well as advanced practice providers and nurses, this meeting will use case-based presentations to highlight recommendations for treatment of common hematologic diagnoses. We will also discuss the role of health-related quality of life assessments in treatment planning.
