Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for hematologist/oncologists, nurses, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and pharmacists involved in the care of patients with hematologic disorders, including leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), benign hematologic diseases, and other related conditions.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

Have increased knowledge regarding the
- Use of molecular analysis and risk stratification to guide therapy selection for patients with acute leukemias
- Recent clinical trial data on treatment strategies for acute leukemias in the frontline and R/R settings
Have greater competence related to
- Assessing measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute leukemias
- Selecting evidence-based treatment for patients with acute leukemias in the frontline and R/R settings
Demonstrate greater confidence in their ability to
- Personalize treatment for patients with acute leukemias in an interprofessional team-based environment
