Online activity
Access Management of Advanced Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (Medscape requires a one-time free registration to access the activity)
Description
This series provides an overview of four different disease subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma where transplantation is an option for treatment. These include follicular, mantle cell, diffuse large B-cell, and T-cell lymphomas. The lectures discuss choices for first-line and second-line treatment and options for the patient who relapses or is refractory to current treatment. These treatment strategies may include novel agents or transplantation, including autologous and allogeneic. Coverage of these topics will aid clinicians in planning treatment strategies that include the timing of transplant and the patient/clinical characteristics (e.g., age, performance status, prognostic index) that should inform therapeutic decisions.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for hematologists, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
