This educational activity brings the latest advances in hematology, oncology, and radiation oncology directly to health care professionals in central Pennsylvania. By highlighting key research and clinical updates from leading national meetings, the program helps attendees stay informed and apply new knowledge to enhance patient care.

Topics featured in this activity were selected from presentations at the 2026 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, the 2026 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), and the 2026 Highlights of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) National Conference. This activity is independently developed and is not endorsed by or affiliated with ASH, SABCS, or ASTRO.

The intended audience for this activity includes physicians, nurses, pharmacists, radiation oncologists, radiation therapists, and other healthcare professionals.

• Review and interpret key research findings, late-breaking data, and scientific advances presented at the 2026 SABCS, ASH, and ASTRO annual meetings that have the potential to influence clinical practice.
• Evaluate emerging evidence related to therapeutic strategies, clinical trial outcomes, and evolving standards of care across breast cancer, hematologic malignancies and disorders, and radiation oncology.
• Examine how emerging research findings may influence treatment selection, patient management, multidisciplinary collaboration, and evolving standards of care across oncology, hematology, and radiation oncology.

This is a full-day activity.

The agenda will be shared as soon as it is confirmed.
