Pivotal Ruxolitinib Data Shows Promise for Patients with PV.
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic, incurable blood cancer with limited treatment options. If uncontrolled, PV can cause serious cardiovascular complications, such as stroke and heart attack.
Mutiple Myeloma at the 19th Congress of the European Hematology Association: What is new?
During the meeting, recently developed approaches for diagnosis and monitoring will be presented. Gene-expression-profiling to detect molecular subgroups with a different prognosis and high-throughput-sequencing to identify new genetic lesions will be discussed.

At the 19th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA), we will learn about the state-of-the-art in management of childhood AML.
Read morePosition of EHA on Access to Medicines
There are many factors that compromise patient access to medicine. First and foremost, for a drug to be available, one has to be developed.
Position of EHA on Clinical Trials
The challenge
In Europe, the number of clinical trials is steadily decreasing. From 2007 to 2010, their number has decreased by some 20 percent from 5,028 to 4,193.
Position of EHA on Personalized Medicine
The challenge
Despite its apparent complexity, personalized medicine could transform healthcare, by tailoring healthcare solutions to the individual patient, delivering ‘the right treatment to the right patient at the right time’ – and helping to get more value from healthcare spending.…
