Updates in Acute Leukemias - SPOC

Webinar Information

Webinar Description

Lacey Williams, MD, will provide a concise, practice-focused overview of recent advances in the management of acute leukemias, with emphasis on how emerging data are reshaping real-world treatment decisions. She will highlight the expanding role of targeted and immune-based therapies. Dr. Williams will also review recent clinical trial results and address special populations including older adults and patients with adverse-risk biology.

Learning Objectives

  • Interpret recent clinical trial data to inform evidence-based treatment selection for patients with acute leukemias across risk groups and disease subtypes.
  • Apply molecular and cytogenetic risk stratification to guide therapeutic decisions, including the use of targeted agents, lower-intensity regimens, and consolidation strategies.
  • Identify and manage key clinical challenges in AML and ALL, including treatment-related toxicities, measurable residual disease assessment, relapse mechanisms, and transitions between lines of therapy.
