Meet us at Europe’s largest oncology congress!
The ESMO Congress is the appointment in Europe for clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, journalists and the pharmaceutical industry from all over the world to get together and learn about the latest advances in oncology. Our oncology team will also be present and happy to discuss our latest research at our booth (205) with you!
Highlight: We’ll Host a Colloquium on AML
In addition to extensive information at our booth, we’ll run a colloquium on “Relapsed/Refractory FLT3-ITD mutated acute myeloid leukemias (AML)” on Sunday, 29 September 2019, 18:30 – 20:00, (Hall 5 – Toledo Auditorium). ESMO Colloquia are innovative sessions within the Congress programme that bring together experts to discuss evolving areas of interest to the oncology community. The Colloquium is organised by ESMO and supported by us in a unique collaboration, making it the perfect complement to the scientific and education programme of the congress. Chair is haematologist Jorge Cortes from the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston (Texas, USA).
The Objectives of our Colloquium are:
- Review the present characteristics and guidelines for the management of Relapsed/ Refractory AML
- Understand the mechanism of action of FLT3 and its role in AML when mutated
- Review the recent outcomes of FLT3-ITD as a target in Relapsed/Refractory AML
