NBCA President Leslie Lake will speak about blood clot advocacy at this one-day symposium that will provide a state-of-the-art update in benign hematology, with a particular focus on emerging therapeutic strategies. The program will feature in-depth presentations by expert faculty, with dedicated time for interactive discussion and Q&A.

Now in its 10th year, the 2025 program will focus on:

• Complex management scenarios in hemostasis and thrombosis, including stroke in cancer, cardiac thrombosis, and thrombotic risk in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
• Advances in management of hemolytic anemias, with a focus on the therapeutic management of hereditary anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), cold agglutinin disease, and other complement-mediated hemolytic disorders
• Hematologic complications related to cellular therapies and immunotherapies
• Novel treatment approaches, including factor XI inhibitors and anticomplement agents, and the unique challenges associated with their use

The target audience for this symposium includes general medicine, hematology/oncology, fellows, hospitalists, nocturnists, emergency medicine providers, advanced practice providers and other healthcare professionals who manage and treat thrombotic and bleeding disorders. Please note that this symposium will be offered exclusively in person; a virtual attendance option will not be available.

Following the symposium, registrants will receive access to an online syllabus featuring select PDF slides from faculty presentations and recorded session videos.
