Annual Updates from ASH 2017: Practice Changing Abstracts

Chicago, IL US
March 3, 2018
Our goal is to join community-based providers and academic oncologists to reach our Healthy People 2020 target of 160.0 cancer related deaths per 100,000 individuals or lower. In order to reach this goal, the Annual Updates from ASH 2017: Practice Changing Abstracts addresses early treatment options and medical advances that can be implemented in an effort to reduce cancer related deaths. It will provide physicians and other healthcare professionals with information that will improve their competence and ultimately improve patient outcomes by bridging the gap between the level of care provided in the community and the care provided at an academic medical center. By providing them with important developments from the most recent ASH conference, we want to educate and empower community-based oncologists on best practices for treating hematologic cancers and also inform them of the indicators of when a patient needs to be referred for tertiary level care.
 

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals interested in the treatment of hematologic cancers.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Cite how understanding the biology of different types of leukemia has influenced treatment approaches;
  • Describe next generation improvements in CAR T-cell therapies;
  • Identify methods for integrating therapeutic advances into practice to improve current myeloma patient care;
  • List current best practices in first and second line therapies for lymphoid malignancies;
  • Name new technologies used for the treatment of hemophilia;
  • Interpret how new scientific insights are informing the diagnosis and treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
