ASH 2009 Recollection: a review by Jan Geissler, a CML patient since 2001
ASH 2009 Recollection: a patient perspective
"Actually, why do I always spend the St Nicholas holiday in the US, instead of with my family", I asked myself when I boarded the plane to the USA on 4 Dec 2009, in anticipation of a long 16 hour trip to the USA, hiding for days in the dungeons of a large convention center. However, from a patient perspective, it was again worth it. Year by year, more than 20.000 hematologists and healthcare people attend the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology. All top experts from the CML space are presenting their research here, competing for the hottest piece of news from clinical trials.
