20173 WEBCAST: Stem-Cell Mobilization 101 Maximizing Outcomes in Patients with Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) plays a key role in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, especially multiple myeloma and lymphoma. Mobilizing stem cells from the bone marrow for peripheral blood collection is an important procedure that circumvents the need for bone marrow harvest, which comes with additional complications. However, conventional stem cell mobilization techniques fail to mobilize an adequate number of stem cells for transplantation in up to 40% of patients. In this activity, expert faculty perspectives are integrated via video interviews into updates on the latest data for improving stem cell mobilization. Faculty will review the latest advances in improving stem cell mobilization outcomes. Strategies, techniques, and therapeutic options to optimize mobilization will be discussed and placed in the context of clinical scenarios to enhance your understanding of how new data should be applied to your patients. Additionally, ongoing clinical trials and new approaches to improve mobilization will be reviewed.
