National Lymphoma Conference 2024: Uniting the Community for Awareness and Support

8^th Annual National Patient Conference on Lymphoma & CLL

– Virtual Event

Wednesday, October 16 to Friday, October 18 (4:00 pm – 7:00 pm) ET

Lymphoma Canada is hosting their 8^th Annual National Patient Conference this year! This patient-focused educational event will be held virtually and will include live presentations by expert faculty and specialists across Canada. Topics ranges from disease and treatment-specific information, what’s in the pipeline for lymphoma therapies, an overview of targeted therapies, as well as a focus on health and wellness for patients in regards to sleep health, fatigue management, and more.

Overview

The national conference is free of charge for patients and their caregivers to attend and will be hosted virtually between October 16-18^th. Providing this event in a virtual format not only allows us to disseminate information and help a larger audience, but also allows patients and their loved ones to watch from the comfort and safety of their own home. This allows all Canadians, no matter where they live, to receive access to novel and up-to-date information on diagnostic testing, treatment options, research, standard of care practices, and wellness regarding their lymphoma subtype. The virtual format is especially helpful for patients that are immunocompromised, having accessible information without having to leave their homes.

The conference recording will be available shortly.
