To participate in this activity, please:

Log in Sign Up

An indolent subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, follicular lymphoma is characterized by eventual relapse of disease and the need for multiple lines of therapy, adding to the significant disease burden experienced by patients. Novel targeted agents in the relapsed/refractory setting have afforded new treatment options, but important clinical challenges exist, including optimal treatment sequencing, therapy evaluation and patient selection, transitions of care requirements, as well as toxicity management.

In this 1-hour, online activity, lymphoma expert Jeremy Abramson, MD, shares his experience navigating these challenges as part of an interprofessional, multidisciplinary care team.
