Log in Sign Up

The therapeutic landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been transformed with the introduction of targeted therapies, providing the opportunity to utilize minimal residual disease (MRD) as an indicator of treatment response and prognostic marker. This 1-hour online, self-directed activity explores the treatment landscape through 9 complex, real-world clinical decisions to advance clinicians’ understanding and application of best evidence and practices. The unique educational design actively engages learners with content, as faculty provide an in-depth rationale for each decision, based on their extensive experience.
