Type II Hematology Tutorial: Diagnostic Work-Up of Hematological Malignancies LYMPHOID MALIGNANCIES – Recent progress in Diagnosis and treatment

DATES: November 16-18, 2012

LOCATION: Lodz, Poland

CHAIRS: A Berrebi (Tel Aviv, Israel), R Foa (Roma, Italy), S. McCann (Ireland, Dublin), T Robak (Lodz, Poland), G Zini (Roma, Italy)

EHA-ESH Hematology Tutorials present state-of-the-art science in a didactic format. They are also intended to promote informal interaction between scientists and clinicians working in the field of hematology.

The scientific program takes the participant through the diagnostic and clinical pathway. Plenary lectures alternate with interactive clinical case study and self-assessment sessions which use a Voting Box system conducive to lively discussions between lecturers and participants.

The faculty comprises leading hematologists highly experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of hematological malignancies.
This 25th Hematology Tutorial (Type II) is targeted towards clinicians, biologists and students working in the field of hematological malignancies or wishing to enter one of these fields.
