Leukaemia and Lymphoma 2017

Leukaemia and Lymphoma is organized by European School of Oncology (ESO) and would be held during Jun 10 - 13, 2017 at Fondazione Monte Verita, Ascona, Ticino, Switzerland.

Course Description:
Over the past twenty five years or so, this course has become a renowned programme for physicians and scientists with an interest in the diagnosis and treatment of haematological cancers. It typically draws participants from most if not all continents and thus allows for a stimulating truly international gathering of colleagues interested in lymphoma and leukaemia. Oncology or haematology trainees are just as welcome as are experienced colleagues looking for a refresher course.

The international faculty, including ICML key note lecturers, will guide us through the complexity of the biology and the most relevant clinical problems in leukaemia and lymphoma, offering plenary lectures, practice-oriented training through case presentations, workshops in small groups and ample discussion slots. Care will be taken to avoid duplications of presentations later scheduled for the Lugano Conference.

Conference Objectives :
• Learn or reinforce knowledge on modern diagnostic tools in haemato-oncology
• Understand the molecular pathology of leukaemia and lymphoma
• Retain the salient clinical features of important lymphoma or leukaemia entities
• Discuss and weigh evidence favouring particular treatment options in haematological oncology
• Learn how to handle complications of treatment for lymphoma and leukaemia
