Regsiter Now

8th European Congress on Hematologic Malignancies: From Clinical Science to Clinical Practice

24-26 February 2012

 

 

EACCME Accreditation
The Congress has applied for accreditation by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME). Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the Congress.

Who Should Attend
This online educational activity is specifically designed for hematologists, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals (physicians, physicians-in-training, oncology nurses, pharmacists, physicians' assistants, etc.) involved and/or interested in the therapeutic management of patients with hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Objectives
After successful completion of this course, participants should:

  • Have increased awareness/knowledge regarding:
    • The evolving role of transplantation in managing hematologic malignancies
    • The changing role of radiation therapy in treating hematologic malignancies
  • Have increased confidence in their ability to:
    • Incorporate latest data into treatment plans for newly diagnosed hematologic malignancies
    • Apply novel agents and strategies to treatment of relapsed and/or refractory disease
  • Increase the frequency (compared with current level) which with they plan to:
    • Use prognostic tools such as imaging, cytogenetics, and risk stratification to guide treatment decisions for patients with hematologic malignancies
    • Recommend maintenance therapy for appropriate patients with hematologic malignancies
    • Enroll patients with difficult-to-treat hematologic malignancies in clinical trials of novel agents

Dear Colleague,

We invite you to join us in the beautiful city of Amsterdam, 24-26 February 2012, to attend the 8th European Congress on Hematologic Malignancies: From Clinical Science to Clinical Practice.

In its eight year, the Congress encompasses hematologic malignancies, including myeloma, lymphoma, and leukemia, as well as discussions on screening, diagnosis and the latest management options. The focus of the 2012 Congress is to provide a forum to review state-of-the-art and present new data, as well as give attendees the opportunity to exchange ideas with world-renowned opinion leaders in the field.

Last year’s congress, held in Budapest, Hungary, was attended by hematology, oncology, and other healthcare-related professionals from nearly 40 countries, all of whom increased their knowledge and have changed their approach to disease management. Their highly positive review of the educational content, quality of speakers, and presentation excellence attests to the overall satisfaction of the attendees—and the value of continuing with a comprehensive update on hematologic oncology management.

To complement the exceptional scientific experience this Congress brings, Amsterdam offers the perfect educational backdrop. We hope you will join us in this beautiful and historic city for a stimulating and enjoyable Congress, as this meeting promises to be an exciting, interactive and educational experience for all attendees!

Sincerely,
Bertrand Coiffier, MD, Chair
Eva Kimby, MD, PhD, Chair
