Agenda

This 2-day interactive virtual meeting with global experts will focus on the treatment of patients with acute leukemia in various countries within Europe.

Day 1: Follow interactive presentations and case-based discussions on the latest updates for ALL and AML, including the role of MRD, risk stratification, and long-term safety considerations, and engage with the faculty in panel discussions on optimal treatment, patient access, and regional challenges across Europe.

Day 2: Join to learn more about current approaches for relapsed ALL and AML, considerations for AYA ALL management (including case-based discussions), and the evolving role of transplantation, and interact with faculty during a panel discussion on how first-line therapy influences subsequent treatment.
