The “Time on advances in haematological disorders – Focus on Thalassemia and Sickle-Cell Anemia” conference aims, every year, to focus attention on new highlights in haematological disorders, including oncological and non-oncological diseases. A selected number of international “opinion leaders” will talk about specific “items” that will be discussed with all participants in a brainstorming session. This year the program will focus on thalassemia and haemoglobinopathy in May 2013, coagulation disorders in June 2013 and onco-hematological disorders in October 2013.
