2nd ESCCA Meeting –
July 6, 2018 –
Valencia, Spain
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
- Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in leukaemia is becoming
increasingly important as treatments improve. - In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) the level of minimal residual disease
(MRD) after therapy is an independent predictor of outcome. Given the
large number of new agents being explored for CLL therapy, using MRD as a
trial endpoint could greatly reduce the time necessary to identify the most
effective treatment approach. In addition to response assessment, MRD
analysis may also be used to guide treatment duration. - In this training course the clinical, biological and regulatory aspects of MRD
analysis will be discussed. Participants will gain understanding of the
analytical approach to MRD detection with interactive sessions plus
assisted data analysis and interpretation of real cases under the guidance
of an expert hematologist.
ESCCA PROGRAM FOR CONTINUOUS EDUCATION IN CYTOMETRY
- This Workshop is part of the ESCCA Program for Continuous Education in
Cytometry (ECEC). ECEC integrates educational and training initiatives
oriented to provide new skills and tools to design, optimize and manage
cytometric analyses and interpret the results obtained. - The ESCCA International Summer School on Cytometry consists of a series
of parallel 5-day courses limited to 20 students per course. - ESCCA has established the European Certification in Cytometry.
- Examination for this Certificate can be taken in national and international
ESCCA events. - For more information on ESCCA Educative initiatives visit https://escca.eu
