Expert Practice in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Deep Dive Into the Disease is organized by prIME oncology and will be held during May 31, 2017 - May 31, 2018. The target audience for this medical event is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists and other healthcare professionals involved in the management of CLL.

Strengthen your knowledge of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with this in-depth, case-based expert faculty discussion. Initial discussion focuses on details of tumor biology and risk assessment. From there, interactive cases will highlight different patient groups followed by detailed examination of appropriate treatment options. Conventional therapy, new targeted options, and allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be reviewed along with in-depth discussion of the identification and appropriate management of adverse events observed in patients undergoing targeted treatment for CLL. Finally, we look to the future with new treatment options on the horizon.

Course Objective:

After successful completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
