ASH Meeting on Hematologic Malignancies
September 8 - 9, 2023
Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park
Chicago, IL
The ASH Meeting on Hematologic Malignancies (MHM) features the top experts in the field, comprehensive clinical content, and the opportunity to interact with colleagues in an intimate, small group setting with no competing sessions. The 2023 meeting is scheduled to take place in person September 8 - 9, 2023 in Chicago, IL. Participants will have an opportunity to hear experts present cutting-edge scientific data, provide out-of-the-box treatment approaches, and answer challenging patient care questions during topic-based panel discussions.
The program is structured as "How I Treat" presentations that showcase each speaker's evidence-based treatment approaches. Learn how new data can be translated into new strategies for diagnosis and treatment, find out what to do in cases where there is no data, and gain knowledge that can help you make an immediate impact on your practice.
Hear exciting updates in each of the core malignancies, including:
- Leukemia
- Lymphoma
- Myelodysplastic syndromes
- Myeloma
- Myeloproliferative neoplasms
ASH’s Consultative Hematology Course will be offered as an optional add-on event, one day prior on September 7. This interactive, half-day course, led by faculty familiar with consultative practice issues and commonly encountered clinical problems that require the expertise of a hematologist, will focus on classical hematology topics.
