Considerable progress has been made in the management of ALL in the past decade and a number of exciting new compounds are under development. Furthermore, new biologic subgroups and their respective diagnostic strategies have been described. The activities of European ALL study groups greatly contributed to this success. These rapid developments are a challenge for patient treatment and clinical science.
The EHA-SWG Scientific Meeting on ALL aims to bring clinicians and young scientists together with leading international experts to facilitate exchange and expand the networks of national study groups to a European level. Participants shall be involved by submitting abstracts for poster and short oral presentations in the main sessions.
In workshops and “Meet the Expert“ sessions, there will be in-depth discussions covering major controversial issues in current ALL management. In addition, several sessions will bridge the gap between pediatric and adult ALL management. Finally, updates on cutting-edge clinical science and new perspectives through knowledge exchange with colleagues will open new international collaborations.
Target audience
Hematologists, oncologists, pediatricians, lab specialists/technicians and patient advocates.

The scientific program will cover the following topics:
- Molecular basis of ALL
- Personalised medicine in ALL
- Minimal Residual Disease / Methods and application
