Fourth International Workshop on the Biology, Prevention, and Treatment of Relapse after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Chicago, IL US
September 21, 2018 to September 22, 2018
Relapse and disease progression are the leading causes of treatment failure for most hematologic malignancies treated with both allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This symposium continues to grow and evolve from achievements of the first three Workshops, as we have witnessed tremendous progress in our understanding and treatment of relapse in the past 12 years. As such, the planned objectives of the fourth workshop are designed to present the latest scientific and clinical advances related to relapse after HSCT and to provide a forum for the presentation of ongoing laboratory, translational, and clinical research specifically related to this field.

The workshop will feature internationally-recognized speakers from a multidisciplinary, diverse group comprised of basic and translational scientists and clinical investigators. The Workshop will include formal didactic presentations and informal discussion panels. It will also offer investigators interested in the field the opportunity to present their work in dedicated oral and poster sessions.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed for medical and pediatric hematologists-oncologists, hematopoietic stem and immune cell translational and basic scientists, hematopathologists, physicians-in-training (Fellows/Residents/Post Docs), advance practice providers, pharmacists, oncology nurses and other associated allied health professionals.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, the participants should be able to:

  • Update the current state of the science relative to biology and clinical study of relapse related to both autologous and allogeneic HSCT;
  • Provide a forum for the presentation of ongoing laboratory and translational research specifically related to relapse following HSCT;
  • Provide a forum to present ongoing clinical trials that are specific to the study of and treatment of relapse following HSCT;
  • Provide an overview of the potential role of CAR T-cells and other cellular therapies in the prevention and treatment of relapse following HSCT.
