9th Annual Updates from ASH 2023: Practice Changing Abstracts
Join us for this not-to-miss event that brings together community-based providers and esteemed academic oncologists. Together, we will improve patient care and outcomes in hematologic malignancies.
Our mission is clear: To save lives. We're committed to achieving this by exploring cutting-edge treatment options and harnessing medical breakthroughs that will significantly reduce cancer-related fatalities. This includes delving into groundbreaking approaches like CAR T-cell therapy, innovative immunotherapies, and precision-targeted agents.
This activity will help healthcare professionals redefine the standard of care for both newly diagnosed patients and those facing relapsed blood cancers. It will empower them to stay at the forefront of their field by providing them with the latest scientific advancements, inspiring innovative ideas, and addressing the most pressing issues concerning patients afflicted with these diseases.
Together, let's make a real difference in the lives of those battling hematologic malignancies. Join us in shaping the future of hematologic oncology.

Target Audience
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Recall the optimal patient selection, timing, and regimens for stem cell transplantation with high-risk and relapsed/refractory disease;
- Recognize international trends in the care of hematologic malignancies;
- State the emerging treatment strategies, the role of targeted agents in therapeutic paradigms for patients with myeloid malignancies, and available clinical trial options and other approaches to patients with relapsed/refractory disease;
- Describe the pathogenesis, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic modalities available for common benign hematologic diseases, including newly approved therapeutic classes;
- Discuss evolving treatment paradigms and therapy sequencing for novel agents in the care of patients with multiple myeloma, including approved and emerging CAR T-cell therapies, as well as bispecific antibodies with varied therapeutic targets;
- Illustrate how cutting-edge data presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology can apply to clinical practice;
- Interpret emerging clinical trial data in the context of CAR T-cell therapy for lymphoid malignancies and its place in evolving hematologic malignancy treatment standards;
- Evaluate available treatments for patients with lymphoma based on optimal treatment sequencing, novel agents and their role in earlier lines of therapy, and how these change best practices for evidence-based care of both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory cases.
