ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Blood & Cancer takes you behind the podium at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting for an in-depth look at the latest developments in anemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for mantle cell lymphoma, use of novel agents in follicular lymphoma, and a range of new advances being explored in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Guests on the podcast include Brian T. Hill, MD, PhD, and Allison Winter, MD, both with the Cleveland Clinic, and Anthony Mato, MD, and Lindsey E. Roeker, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
