iCMLf Forum 2017 Webstreams
Webstreams of the presentations from the iCMLf Forum for Physicians from Emerging Regions 2017 are now available to view. This year's Forum focused on 'Perspectives on the management of CML'. iCMLf experts gave the global perspective followed by local emerging regions perspectives from Russia and Brazil and a discussion with the audience.
A new highlight this year was the ‘Meet the expert’ session with small group discussions on the management of TKI’s exclusively for physicians from the emerging regions.
Topics include:
- Perspectives on Molecular Monitoring for CML
Associate Professor Susan Branford (Australia) and Dr Elza Lomaia (Russia)
- Perspectives on Treatment Free Remission
Professor Susanne Saußele (Germany) and Dr Katia Pagnano (Brazil)

Perspectives on Molecular Monitoring for CML: A global perspective
Topics include; molecular monitoring for best patient outcomes, milestone molecular responses in the first 12 months, ELN recommends repeat testing before changing therapy, trend of decline is an important prognostic factor, long-term molecular monitoring is recommended, a rise in a long term optimal responder may indicate non-adherence, frequent monitoring is associated with better adherence on TKI therapy and decreased risk of progression.
