Expert Insights - 20th Annual International Ultmann Chicago Lymphoma Symposium
An on-demand 30-minute discussion between three symposium co-chairs to highlight and summarize the most clinically relevant data from the International Ultmann Chicago Lymphoma Symposium (IUCLS), an annual conference dedicated solely to the science and clinical care of lymphoma. It was organized to honor the achievements of Dr. John Ultmann, a pioneer in the treatment of lymphoma, who devoted his life to the understanding of this disease. He was particularly known for his work on the staging of Hodgkin lymphoma and the utility of staging as a guide for treatment.
We were fortunate to have a multitude of the world’s experts in lymphoma speak at this year’s conference. The live audience was comprised of regional practicing oncologists, advanced nurse practitioners and physician assistants, residents, fellows, and the Chicago academic community that included five academic centers.
This is a certified continuing medical education (CME) activity that focuses on the biologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This year’s conference was a 2-day live meeting to discuss recent updates in the care of patients with solid and hematologic malignancies.
