ESH 2nd How to Diagnose and Treat:
Acute Leukaemia
Chairs: Hervé Dombret, Arnold Ganser, Jorge Sierra, Wendy Stock

Programme Summary

European School of Haematology (ESH) How to Diagnose and Treat meetings are disease-specific meetings that address state-of-the-art diagnostic and clinical management on the basis of presentation, analysis and discussion of real clinical cases. One major objective is to promote interaction between the speakers and participants.

Novel and still evolving insights into the biology and diagnosis of acute leukaemias, including acute myeloid leukaemias (AMLs) and acute lymphoblastic leukaemias (ALL), is offering new therapeutic options with recent drug approvals to treat newly-diagnosed as well as relapsed/refractory disease.

The programme of this “2^nd How to Diagnose and Treat: Acute Leukaemia” meeting will deal with integration of genomic analysis and cutting-edge technics in routine diagnosis, gene mutation-based therapies and new standard treatment algorithms, allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) transplantation and innovative immunotherapies, as well as diagnosis and management of rare acute leukaemia subtypes.

Posters and Brief Oral Communications:

Registered participants are invited to submit their Biology and Clinical abstracts, and Clinical Cases. Selected abstracts will be presented as posters; selected Clinical Cases will be presented as brief oral communications or posters.

This meeting will be valuable for you if you are looking for:

A cutting-edge scientific programme – from basic science to clinical and therapeutic applications and perspectives
Multiple opportunities for scientific interaction with an international faculty of distinguished experts
An emphasis on critical discussion

The meeting will provide clinicians and biologists with state-of-the-art recommendations regarding patient care and insights into controversies and new therapeutic perspectives in the field.

This meeting will be of interest to:

Senior biologists and clinicians, including experts in the field (MD, PhD, MD-PhD)
Junior biologists and clinicians (MD, PhD)
Clinical residents still in-training
Allied health care professionals

Learning objectives:

Learn about the modern sets of diagnosis tests needed to optimally manage patients with AML and ALL
Review and hierarchize the new treatment standards that available to AML and ALL patients for front-line and for salvage therapy
Understand the value and role of leukaemic stem cell targeting and measurable residual disease (MRD) levels to stratify acute leukaemia therapy
Gain insight into emerging mechanisms associated with clinical resistance and leukaemia escape
Understand the effects and place of new immunotherapies with respect to standard or new HSCT procedures

Topics :

Rare subsets of acute leukaemia
Tracking leukaemic stem cells (LSCs)
Routing diagnosis gene expression and mutational profiling
Addition of a 3rd agent to frontline 7+3
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
Immunotherapy for acute leukaemia

The programme will include:

Plenary Sessions
Interactive Case Presentations
Roundtables
Panel Discussions
Debates
Poster Presentations
Voting boxes
