THIS CONFERENCE IS OVER. JOIN US NEXT YEAR!

WELCOME FROM THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

It is a privilege to invite you to our 10th Kaunas / Lithuania International Hematology / Oncology Colloquium. Despite having a short history, the meeting has an astonishing record of highlights and edge catting presentations. Key opinion leaders have reported their latest insights in malignant hematology, stem cell plasticity, gene editing and cellular therapy. This year we tried to pick up again the most advanced achievements in experimental and clinical hematology. We are extremely happy that leading scientists agree to share their insights and visions and are at disposition to exchange experience and answer open questions. Latest news on acute and chronic leukemia, stem cell transplantation, production and new clinical application of CAR-T  cells will be additional highlights of the meeting.

We hope that the colloquium will be useful to you as a physician across different disciplines, as a scientist, as a nurse and as a student. Even if the meeting is hybrid, you will have enough time to discuss topics with the presenters. Let`s celebrate 10 years of international advances in medicine through the colloquium and the continuous collaboration. Many thanks to the Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno Klinikos and the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences for hosting such an outstanding forum and all involved in the organization of the meeting.

Thank you for your participation.
