5th Annual Live Medical Crossfire®: Hematologic Malignancies
Release Date: August 30, 2021
Expiration Date: August 30, 2022
Activity Overview
Current standards of practice for treating hematologic malignancies are continually evolving as new clinical trial data emerge. Physicians who treat a broad range of patients with hematologic malignancies—leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms—need to stay informed about changing treatment paradigms across multiple lines of care to confidently personalize clinical decisions for their patients. As such, comprehensive, case-based discussions that provide real-world clinical perspectives can help shape modern management of hematologic malignancies today.
This online Medical Crossfire®: Hematologic Malignancies program provides presentations from the 5th Annual Live Medical Crossfire®: Hematologic Malignancies Virtual Webcast held on July 17, 2021. This unique and engaging multimedia activity is ideal for the community-based clinician, as it focuses on the practical aspects of managing patients with hematologic malignancies. The program is designed both to disseminate important information to health professionals who did not attend the live meeting and to help reinforce learnings for those who did.
