6th Annual Updates from ASH 2020: Practice Changing Abstracts
February 19, 2021
Our goal is to join community-based providers and academic oncologists to improve the care and outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancies. In order to reach this goal, this conference will address early treatment options and medical advances that can be implemented in an effort to reduce cancer-related deaths. Our overarching goal is to help all healthcare professionals who are involved in the care of patients with hematologic malignancies stay abreast of the latest scientific updates, innovative ideas, and timeliest issues related to their care. This conference will provide the target audience with information that can help improve patient management and care strategies. Participants will discuss with content experts rapidly evolving developments, discover new treatments for patients, and improve overall practice paradigms. We will educate and empower community-based oncologists on best practices for treating hematologic cancers and inform them of the indicators for when to refer a patient for tertiary level care.
We are excited to welcome Courtney DiNardo, MD, MSCE to present the keynote lecture on clinical updates in myeloid malignancies. She has most recently been honored by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) as a 2020 Ernest Beutler Lecture and Prize recipient for her clinical trial contributions supporting several acute myeloid leukemia therapies.
