Third Annual Controversies in Hematologic Malignancies Symposium

Milwaukee, WI US
March 8, 2014

For the past decade, cancer knowledge and treatments has changed dramatically. Two of the hematologic malignancies that stand out in diagnostic and therapeutic advances are chronic myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma.  Controversies regarding timing of treatment, type of treatment, criteria for progression and response exist.  We plan to focus our meeting in meeting in these two malignancies to update our audience in the new recommendations and future directions of care.
