ESH International Conference on New concepts in B Cell Malignancies: from molecular pathogenesis to personalized treatment

Chairs: Michael Hallek, Louis Staudt, Stephan Stilgenbauer
Local Organizer: Kostas Stamatopoulos

 

SESSION I: MOLECULAR GENETICS AND PROFILING – WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

Pathogenic and therapeutic relevance of molecular signatures in aggressive lymphoma – G. Lenz

Genomic profiling and evolution of CLL – C. Wu

Molecular pathogenesis and treatment options in ALL – E. Campo

Genome, methylome and transcriptome sequencing in follicle center cell lymphoma (ICGC) – R. Siebert

Bcl-6 and related pathways in lymphoma genesis – R. Dalla-Favera

 

SESSION II: MOLECULAR PATHOGENESIS OF LYMPHOMA

Genomic profiling and the discovery of important pathways in lymphoma – R. Gascoyne

B cell receptor mediated signaling and targeted therapies – L. Staudt

B cell development and transformation: focus on the germinal center – R. Küppers

Mantle cell lymphoma – C. Mullighan

 

SESSION III: PROGNOSTIC MARKERS AND STAGING IN LYMPHOMA AND CLL – CONTROVERSIAL DEBATES

Diffuse large cell lymphoma:
Do we still need a clinical staging or can it be replaced by molecular signatures or profiling of the tumor?

Pro staging – M. Pfreundschuh

Pro molecular profiling – R. Gascoyne

 

Indolent lymphoma (follicular lymphoma)
The end of Ann Arbor staging and the beginning of molecular staging has come

Yes – G. Salles

No – F. Morschhauser

 

CLL:
The end of clinical staging alone has come – every treatment decision will be made after genetic profiling?

Yes – S. Stilgenbauer

No – E. Montserrat
