The Latest in Lymphoma News and Treatment

The Latest in Lymphoma News and Treatment

 Special Edition

Patient Power is producing a series of four live online only webcasts discussing the latest issues for people living with lymphoma and their families. Each features a renowned expert and you can email in or phone in questions. Email in advance using the form below or call during the program. And please let others know about these authoritative programs.

All programs will be posted after the live broadcasts as audio replays and transcripts. Feel free to share information with your physician.

Here is our schedule of webcasts. Check back often as we will continually update this information with names of guests and other details. Also, be sure to send in questions as you have them and sign up for our Special Edition newsletter and alerts.

What's new in lymphoma research and treatment?  What came out of the latest meeting of the American Society of Hematology?  What does this mean for you and your treatment options? Are there new drug combinations, and is there a role for stem cell transplant?  Hear from renowned expert, Dr. James Armitage, from the University of Nebraska Medical Center as he joins Andrew to discuss this all too important topic.

Remember, our discussions are meant to help give you expert perspective and it would be unwise and unfair to you to try to practice medicine over the Web. Please recognize that for specific medical advice you should consult with your own doctor.

With that caveat, you are welcome to submit a question below to be answered during the live program. And please, tell others about our live programs and the replays and transcripts that are posted soon after the live broadcasts. There is nothing like this anywhere else.

As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
