Chicago Cellular Therapy in Hematology and Oncology: Expert Guidance for Clinical Practice

Deerfield, IL US
September 21, 2024

This CME-accredited activity Chicago Cellular Therapy in Hematology and Oncology: Expert Guidance for Clinical Practice features leading experts in hematologic malignancies and cellular therapies who will provide a comprehensive overview of current and emerging strategies for the management of lymphoma, myeloma, acute leukemias, and solid tumors with a focus in the use of cellular therapies. The goal of this activity is to improve the knowledge and competence of learners to apply practice-changing clinical data and expert recommendations to optimize clinical outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancies and to describe potential future applications of cellular therapy in solid tumors. The activity will use a mix of didactic lectures and case-based discussions to highlight areas of debate between cellular therapy and non-cellular therapy in the treatment of these diseases. Expert faculty will aim to place the role of different therapeutic agents in a clinical context and discuss how to utilize these therapeutic options to effectively contribute to patient care. This conference is designed to provide physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals with the latest updates in the field. It will highlight a multidisciplinary approach and the integration of new advances in patient-centered care.

The symposium will augment healthcare providers’ foundation of knowledge and clinical competence in several areas:

  • Providing a review of existing clinical evidence supporting approved Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapies in the care of patients with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL), Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), and Multiple Myeloma (MM)
  • Describing the role of non-cellular therapies in B-ALL, DLBCL, FL, MCL, and MM
  • Identify challenges to the delivery of cellular therapies and provide a discussion on how such barriers may be addressed
  • Discussing novel investigational approaches of cellular therapy in acute myeloid leukemias and solid tumors
