Highlights from the iwCLL 2019 in Edinburgh

The 18th International Workshop on CLL (iwCLL) will take place in Auld Reekie - as Edinburgh used to be called by the Scots - from 20 to 23 September. Are you unable to attend this congress? No worries, MEDtalks will travel to this historic city to bring you the most important news about chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

What news is told about diagnostic tests on CLL? And what are the recommendations for the treatment of patients in the frontline and later lines? Renowned hematologists/researchers will talk about this and more in a series of interviews that can be viewed on our website from the beginning of October.
