In this special podcast, Dr. Ken Anderson and Dr. Martin Tallman, program co-chairs for the Meeting on Hematologic Malignancies, talk about the exciting events that will be taking place at this year’s meeting, which will take place September 16 to 17 at the Fairmont Chicago in Millennium Park, Chicago, Illinois. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear world-class experts in hematologic malignancies discuss the latest developments in clinical care, and learn about their own treatment approaches based on available data. The content will be structured as “How I Treat” sessions on core malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloma, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Among the dynamic areas the two Chairs discuss in this podcast, targeted and immune therapies are some of the most highly anticipated this year in Chicago. Also taking center-stage are several new areas of interest including immune therapies in leukemias, unique toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome and in curative disease types, and numerous others. As Drs. Anderson and Tallman spotlight, all of these discussions will take place in the context of actual clinical cases.
