Upcoming Events

ESH-iCMLf International Conference CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA: Biology and Therapy

September 20 - September 23, 2012 - Baltimore, U S A

Chairs : J.M. Goldman, Jorge Cortes, T.P. Hughes

Speakers at this meeting will present the newest and often unpublished data that relate to the (1) Biology of CML including the origin of BCR-ABL1, signal transduction, basis of disease progression, action of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mechanisms underlying resistance to TKI, and (2) Aspects of treatment including prediction and definition of responses, drugs used in combination, molecular monitoring, targeting residual stem cells and approaches to cure.

ESH International Conference on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

October 04 - October 06, 2012 - Vienna, Austria

Chairs : A. R. Green, H. L. Pahl, R. Skoda, T. Barbui , W Vainchenker

Over the past few years there has continued to be a flood of new insights into the classification, pathogenesis and management of the myeloproliferative neoplasms. This event is essentially a workshop with an audience. It brings together scientists and clinicians with new data on the cellular and molecular biology of these disorders as well as their diagnosis and treatment

ESH International Conference on Lymphomas

October 28 - October 30, 2012 - Marseille, France

Chairs : Angelo Michele Carella, Bertrand Coiffier, Peter Johnson

Our knowledge on the pathology of lymphoma and on the therapeutic possibilities has greatly changed during the last 10 years. Lymphoma is a complex cancer with several entities, each with its own genetic abnormalities, spreading characteristics, and therapeutic options.

Numerous pathways controlling important cellular mechanisms have been found to be deregulated in lymphoma cells, leading to cell growth or refractoriness to therapy. Inhibitors specific for these different pathways are gaining therapeutic roles.

Observatory of Sickle Cell Disease to open in Monaco
modified 2012-05-04 by Nancy Hamilton

Twenty-five experts gathered in Monaco for the first meeting to set up an observatory of sickle cell disease. The disease, which affects the haemoglobin of thousands of newborn children each year, has become a major public health problem both in Europe and more widely in Africa where the disease affects many people.

The "Centre Scientifique de Monaco" will host the observatory as of January 1, 2013 with the aim to establish a working group on the management and treatment of sickle cell disease.

According to Professsor Eliane Gluckman, "We must promote exchange between countries and then to adapt techniques and treatment of sickle cell disease." The mission of the observatory will be to coordinate programmes, to adapt resources to disseminate knowledge, and share expertise. The observatory will support research on stem cells from umbilical cord, which is one of the keys in the treatment of sickle cell disease.
