Second Annual Symposium on Personalized Therapies and Best Clinical Practices for Hematologic Malignancies coming soon.

Taught by the top academic experts in hematology this is THE symposium on hematology that you should attend in 2011. It contains the most up-to-date data from the recent ASH meeting. This symposium will help clinicians improve their selection of the most appropriate therapeutics, and will also help clinicians to identify the patient sub-populations of hematology who will respond to specific drug therapies.

Agenda and faculty below. Remainder of the information will be available October 2010.
