Program 

The EHA-SWG scientific meeting on Recent Advances in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Secondary Acute Myeloid Leukemias will provide a thorough update on susceptibility factors to sAML, including germ-line and acquired molecular lesions, as well as the role of the bone marrow microenvironment. In addition, clinically important aspects such as sAML following childhood malignancies, leukemogenic effects of drugs as well as prevention/surveillance strategies will be discussed. Finally, the meeting will also focus on special situations including sAML following gene-therapy, CAR-T cell therapy, and AML of donor origin in the context of allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Major experts in the molecular characterization of sAML and the translational consequences in disease diagnosis, management, and treatment will join the meeting and be part of an intensive scientific exchange. With this meeting, we would particularly encourage young researchers and clinician scientists to present their data on sAML in one of the abstract or poster sessions.

The meeting will cover the following topics:

  • Germ-line and acquired predisposition to sAML
  • Clonal progression from other myeloid diseases (BM-failure s., MDS, MPN)
  • Role of cancer treatment in t-AML development /after chemotherapy, CAR-T, gene therapy)
  • Genetic characteristics of sAML
  • Treatment of sAML
  • Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (donor-derived sAML), 7. prevention/surveillance programs

Target Audience

The meeting is intended for hematologists, oncologists, biomedical scientists, lab specialists/technicians, and patient advocates.
