The Symposium and Soho Italy

The conference will address issues related to innovation in the field of oncohaematological tumors (leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma), the new frontiers of research, early diagnosis and personalized therapy. “It is important to be able to bring the largest world conferences on medical topics to our country as well – declared Martinelli and Cerchione – Italy needs these activities from an academic and cultural point of view but also for the promotion of our territory. In particular – they underline – Italian hematology has always been at the top of international research and one of the most important schools worldwide is located in Bologna. Being able to bring a conference, one of the most relevant on a planetary level in the hematological field, to Bologna also underlines the validity and authority of Italian researchers”. At the same time, Soho Italy, the Italian Society of Oncohematology born in collaboration with the US MD Anderson, is recruiting hundreds of young hematologists precisely because of the broad international scope: “SOHO Italy now intends to open up also to clinicians of other medical specialties and above all to Institutions precisely to promote greater knowledge of hematological diseases, their prevention when possible and early diagnosis – the researchers underline – SOHO Italy is a candidate to become a point of reference and the role of Ambassador becomes an even stronger tool for promoting the territory”
