ALL Hub continues to enhance global knowledge of acute lymphoblastic leukemia throughout 2021

Press Release: Available for Immediate Release

The ALL Hub, run by Scientific Education Support (SES) in partnership with the European School of Haematology (ESH), has continued to promote significant developments in the treatment and research of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) throughout Quarter 2 of 2021.

The ALL Hub is an open-access online resource dedicated to providing balanced, reliable, and up-to-date medical education in ALL. In Quarter 2, the ALL Hub provided live coverage from several virtual events, highlighting the key developments in ALL research.

Reviewing the ALL Hub’s activity, Mia Hill, IME director at Scientific Education Support, said:

“The ALL Hub’s aim is to enhance knowledge of ALL through multichannel dissemination of global advances related to its classification, diagnosis, treatment, and management. To achieve this, the ALL Hub shares novel, evidence-based articles, drug and trial updates, and expert opinions. Our work allows us to disseminate international congress coverage to clinicians and scientists around the world.

In April, the ALL Hub attended the 2021 Korean Society of Hematology International Conference & 62nd Annual Meeting (ICKSH 2021), the Acute Leukemia Forum 2021, and the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (ASPHO) Conference. We attended the European School of Hematology (ESH) 2nd Translational Research Conference: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in May. In June, the ALL Hub attended the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2021 Virtual Congress.

During these meetings, the ALL Hub provided live coverage of sessions and produced articles on the cutting-edge research presented by key experts in the field. By attending these events, we can provide every treatment team and researcher with instant access to expert opinions and the latest evidence-based information on ALL, which we believe will aid treatment decisions and improve the lives of patients with ALL, globally.

Everyone at the ALL Hub would like to thank its supporters —Novartis and Amgen—without whom the platform would not be possible.”

NOTES TO EDITOR

About acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

ALL is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells. It progresses quickly and aggressively and requires immediate treatment. Both adults and children can be affected.

ALL is rare, with around 790 people diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK. Most cases develop in children, teenagers, and young adults.

Although it is rare, ALL is the most common type of leukemia affecting children—around 85% of childhood cases occur in individuals younger than 15 years of age (mostly between the ages of 0 and 5). ALL affects slightly more boys than girls.
