What are this year’s “can’t-miss”
events?
Dr. Sehn: This year’s program is well
rounded and exciting, with important
basic-science developments and new
therapies across the field of hematology;

particular, is exploding.
This year, there are two ASH-FDA
Joint Symposia discussing new drug
approvals (one on acute lymphocytic leu-

one on acute myeloid leukemia), in which
experts will discuss the latest treatments
coming to market for these malignancies.
