Health Disparities in Hematologic Malignancies: From Genes to Outreach
The Health Disparities in Hematologic Malignancies Conference focuses on advancing understanding of the biological, genetic, social and environmental factors that affect the outcomes of blood cancer treatments, with the goal of developing strategies to improve care for all patients regardless of background.
We specifically would like to discuss and debate emerging concepts on how these considerations combine to determine clinical outcomes. We are also strongly encouraging participation of trainees from participating institutions and from programs such as the Lymphoma Scientific Research Mentoring Program, the BMSF Diversity in Clinical Trials Award Program, and the ASH Minority Recruitment Initiative. We will also be including NIH officials, journal editors and patient/health advocates. We expect a lively debate that will inform, connect, and educate participants.
