John Goldman Conference on CML - A first glimpse of the sessions and speakers

As we prepare for the ESH-iCMLf 26th Annual John Goldman Conference on Chronic Myeloid Leukemia: Biology and Therapy, which will take place from September 27-29, in Prague, we are excited to share a preview of what’s to come.

While the program is still being refined by the conference Chairs and Co-organisers, and late-breaking abstracts are currently under review, we wanted to give you a taste of the exciting sessions you can look forward to.

The 2024 conference will continue the tradition of presenting cutting-edge research and fostering collaboration between CML experts worldwide. This year’s program will cover a broad range of topics from the latest in CML biology to innovative therapeutic approaches.
