๐Ÿฉธ CML HAS CHANGED. HAVE OUR TREATMENT ALGORITHMS KEPT UP? The era of simply choosing a TKI and monitoring response is behind us. Today, treating chronic myeloid leukemia means navigating an increasingly complex set of decisions: Which TKI should you start โ€” and for whom? When should an inadequate response trigger a switch? How should resistance mutations change treatment selection? Where do newer agents fit into sequencing? Who can safely pursue treatment-free remission โ€” and when? At this week's MedNews Week Keynote Conference, we go directly into these questions with Dr. Jorge Cortes, MD, one of the investigators who helped build the evidence base behind modern CML therapy. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ THE CML EVOLUTION: Mastering Modern Algorithms in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Dr. Cortes breaks down how CML management has evolved and, more importantly, how to translate that evolution into real-world treatment decisions at the bedside. Now at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Cortes has led 90+ Phase Iโ€“III clinical trials, authored 1,000+ scientific publications, abstracts, and academic contributions, and held major international leadership roles in CMLโ€”including leadership of the International Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Foundation. This isn't just a review of CML. It is an opportunity to learn how one of the field's most influential investigators thinks through the decisions that define modern CML care. ๐Ÿ“… September 16, 2026 โฐ 12:30 PM ET ๐ŸŒŽ MedNews Week Keynote Conference Catch this episode exclusively on OncoDaily TV: piped.video/watch?v=dtWA2bQ2โ€ฆ From first-line therapy โ†’ resistance โ†’ sequencing โ†’ treatment-free remission. If you treat leukemiaโ€”or are training toโ€”this is one conversation worth hearing.

Today, 5 years ago, I started my US journey. I canโ€™t overstate the impact this country and DFCI had on my trajectory. I felt welcome, grew tremendously as a physician and scientist. Grateful for the people and trust that shaped these years. Looking forward to what comes next!

Dr. @CParkMD at #WorldGU25 made the case that mHSPC now needs care guided by genetic mutation signatures. His take on KIM-1, ctDNA, and how we counsel patients when tests are positive is the kind of practical teaching #WorldGU26 is built around. Join leading GU experts December 3โ€“5, 2026, in Nashville.
