Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to The Virtual Congress on Hematology: Age before beauty-an age adjusted approach towards hematological disorders.

While the tailoring of treatment to patients dates back to the time of Hippocrates, the term personalized / precision medicine has risen in usage in recent years —with medical decisions, practices and interventions being tailored to the individual patient, based on molecular diagnostics and informatics.

Yet, in its broader sense, personalized medicine stratifies patients into different groups, based on their predicted response or risk of disease.

The abundance of treatments and protocols and the addition or replacement of chemotherapy with novel agents, opened new horizons for elderly cancer patients, enabling for the tailoring of treatments based on chronological as well as biological age. Thus, an age adjusted approach can be considered as one of the clinical perspectives of personalized medicine.

This Congress focuses on an age adjusted approach towards hematological disorders, based upon the use of targeted therapies and personalized treatments while taking into consideration the state of the art and controversial issues we are still facing.  The Congress welcomes hematology professionals including clinicians, researchers, industry professionals as well as other treatment experts.

Our speakers are international leaders in the field of Hematology delivering talks that are idea-focused, from the basic mechanisms underlying these hematological disorders to the present and future therapies.

We encourage you to view the e-posters, visit the virtual exhibition, network with your fellow delegates, reach out via the chat function and schedule one-to-one meetings with each other.

We thank you for joining us at The Virtual Congress on Hematology.

Sincerely,
