Target Audience:
This activity has been developed and is intended for transplant specialists, oncologists, hematologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies.

Description:
The goal of this educational program is to improve the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) through the dissemination of information about stem cell transplantation and mobilization for autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. The data for stem cell transplantation in MM is rapidly changing.

The techniques of mobilization are still evolving. There is considerable debate regarding the timing and number of transplants for MM and the indications for transplant in NHL. The optimal use of transplant in the disease course and appropriate mobilization could drastically change the treatment of MM and NHL. This program serves as a medium to give physicians a chance to recognize these changes.

Objectives:
• Identify existing and emerging strategies for optimizing stem cell transplantation in MM and NHL
• Evaluate current data on stem cell mobilization in patients with MM and Hodgkin’s disease
• Determine the factors that affect and optimize the efficacy of stem cell mobilization

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
