Program Details
A cancer clinical trial is a carefully controlled research study conducted by doctors to improve the care and treatment of people who have cancer. Taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice for some blood cancer patients. There are trials for patients at every stage of treatment as well as those in remission. Virtually all of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on previous clinical trials.
Please join us to learn about the latest clinical trials advancing the treatment of blood cancers from leading experts at Moffitt Cancer Center.

It is highly recommended that all blood cancer patients or other immunocompromised individuals check with their healthcare provider before attending this event. Research conducted by LLS and others has shown that some blood cancer patients do not get optimal protection from COVID-19 vaccination and may continue to have heightened susceptibility to contracting and becoming ill from COVID-19. While at the event, we urge our community to respect anyone’s choice to continue to take precautions like masking or social distancing.
