ESH International Conference MYELOPROLIFERATIVE NEOPLASMS
September 30 - October 02, 2010 - Albufeira, Portugal
Chairs :

Information

Over the past few years there has been a flood of new insights into the classification,pathogenesis and management of the myeloproliferative neoplasms. This meeting is essentially a workshop with an audience. It brings together scientists and clinicians with new data on the cellular and molecular biology of these disorders as well as their diagnosis and treatment.
