In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.

What you’ll get from the Leadership Summit
April 2022—The end of this month marks the start of one of my favorite CAP events: the Pathologists Leadership Summit. If you’re not familiar with it or haven’t signed up to attend, I’d like to give you a sense of why it’s so important. Back in the early 2000s, I attended what was known as CAP Advocacy School. At that point in my career, I had seen many physicians who felt discouraged, frustrated, and helpless about the state of physician payments and government health care regulations, and I understood those feelings. Advocacy School offered a solution. What struck me about this program was the message that we were not powerless. Through this meeting, the CAP taught me that my government representatives would be interested in what I had to say as an expert physician. I was partnered with Richard Hausner, MD, a seasoned pathologist advocate.
