The 3rd Annual US Focus on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, a Unique Medical Education Event in the DC Metro area
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) August 16, 2016 -- Educational, informative and clinically-relevant, the US Focus on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and Myelodysplastic Syndromes will be held at the Westin Alexandria (400 Courthouse Sq., Alexandria, VA 22314) on August 26-27, 2016.
Organized by Imedex, an industry leader in providing certified, independent medical education to health care professionals, and chaired by Srdan Verstovsek, MD, PhD, and Guillermo Garcia-Manero, MD, Chiefs of the Section for Myeloproliferative Neoplasms and Section of Myelodysplastic Syndromes, respectively at the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center, this conference will provide a dynamic platform addressing many of the clinical challenges related to the diagnosis and treatment of MPN and MDS.
“The knowledge that attendees gain from this meeting will help them implement new methods and strategies for diagnosis, risk stratification, and medical management—strategies that lead to the enhancement in clinical outcomes and quality of life for patients with MPN and MDS,” said Dr. Verstovsek.
With few other meetings of this type currently in the United States, this highly-relevant clinical conference will provide the basis to advance understanding, drive optimal use of therapeutic strategies, and improve patient outcomes for MPN and MDS. The diverse mix of didactic presentations and interactive discussion, will ensure that attendees have the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge in the field, confirm current practices, and receive valuable take-home information as it relates to new screening and staging modalities, management approaches and emerging treatment options.
“Because recent discoveries have the potential to change the paradigm for how both MPN and MDS are diagnosed and treated, it is imperative that healthcare professionals who care for these patients are provided an expert review of the most pertinent clinical data on prognosis, diagnosis, therapy and disease management for optimal integration into everyday clinical practice,” said Dr. Garcia-Manero.
Offering ACCME accreditation and MOC points, this conference is intended to meet the educational needs of hematologists, medical oncologists and other healthcare professionals (physicians, physicians-in-training, oncology nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, etc.) who are involved and/or interested in the treatment of patients with MPN and MDS.
