3rd Annual MSK Symposium on Lymphoma

This symposium will feature updated information on lymphoma biology, diagnosis, immunology, and genetics, and ongoing efforts to translate the scientific discoveries into novel treatment strategies for a variety of lymphomas. Faculty will review the current standard of care and present their own perspectives on how they treat various types of lymphomas. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss diagnostic and management cases, and how to incorporate biologic and genetic biomarkers into clinical practice and clinical trials.

Target Audience

The target audience includes medical and radiation oncologists, hematopathologists, scientists, and medical trainees involved in diagnosis, treatment, and biomedical research of lymphoma.
