About the Webinar: 

Blood cancers are a heterogenous group of disorders with very variable prognosis. Correct diagnosis is the key.

Living with the disease, survivorship and integration into the community remains integral to success.

Learning Objectives: 

1) Describe the different types of blood cancers.

2) Identify national and local blood cancer incidence and mortality.

3) Review the historical and current landscape of blood cancers.

4) Illustrate the impact of blood cancer survivorship.
