Upstate New York Hematology & Hematologic Oncology Conference: A Review of the 66th ASH Annual Meeting

This two-day symposium and lecture series presented an engaging and interactive forum to discuss the latest advances in the fields of benign, malignant and classical hematology and includes speakers from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center as well as nationally recognized experts from NCI designated cancer centers across the United States.  These lectures serve to provide in-depth coverage of the full spectrum of malignant hematology topics including lymphoid, myeloid, and plasma cell neoplasms, as well as classical hematology topics and considerations for special populations.

Don’t forget to connect with our teams in person this year at ASH at our Friday Satellite Symposium "Bridging the Gaps in Cell Therapy for Hematological Malignancies: Expert Guidance, Clinical Experience & Increased Access,” and we hope to see you in Buffalo in the spring as we host The Upstate New York Hematology & Hematologic Oncology Conference: A Review of the 67th ASH Annual Meeting on April 25-26, 2026.
