ForwardRecorded Presentations from the NCCN 13th Annual Congress: Hematologic Malignancies™
The treatment of hematologic malignancies is increasingly complex. Issues relating to pathology, transplantation, and various new therapies require oncologists and hematologists to stay abreast of new advances. In addition, targeted therapies and oral treatments bring new benefits to patients.
