October 2015 - On Sunday morning 52 participants of the 17th John Goldman Meeting on CML in Estoril had an early start to the day running with colleagues and friendsDSC01267 at the 5 km ‘John Goldman Fun Run’. The atmosphere was breathtaking as the sun rose along the picturesque Estoril promenade. What a start to the day!

Besides the fun and health, it was also for a good cause. A special thank you to those you donated to the iCMLf and received a John Goldman Run T-Shirt. We raised over $1,300 that will go directly to the iCMLf John Goldman Fund to improve CML treatment in the emerging regions.

ELN Guidelines

These guidelines include Europen LeukemiaNet recommendations for the management of CML, NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology: CML version and the international BFM Group (iBFM): Managing children with CML in 2014.
