Medical Crossfire®: Exploring the Modern Management of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia from AYA to Adult

Release Date: January 21, 2021
Expiration Date: January 21, 2022

Activity Overview

This online, on-demand continuing medical education (CME) activity brings together an international panel of experts on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) to exchange ideas and perspectives on the latest data regarding ALL management in adolescents and young adults (AYA), as well as older adults. Recent advances have been made in the diagnosis and management of ALL in these groups, including the development and incorporation of novel targeted and immune strategies and new assessments of measurable/minimal residual disease. The program features a case-based agenda allowing participants to consider how they might handle particular cases, integrate relevant evidence into real-world practice, and evaluate their current patient care approaches. This program will also address approaches to maximize the tolerability of current and emerging therapeutic approaches.

This online, on-demand CME activity is an archive of a live event that took place on December 4, 2020.
