  About the Webinar: 

  This webinar in partnership with the Nebraska Oncology Society will provide healthcare professionals with essential knowledge about blood cancers, including how they develop, their symptoms, and the latest in diagnosis and treatment, such as precision medicine and clinical trials. With a new U.S. blood cancer diagnosis every three minutes and over 150 deaths daily, understanding these diseases is critical. We'll also cover vital survivorship aspects, like managing side effects and finding support, which is especially important as Nebraska expects over 1,000 new cases in 2025.
  

  Learning Objectives: 
  

  1. Define blood cancer, its basic mechanisms, and common presenting signs and symptoms.
  2. Describe the key steps in diagnosing blood cancers and the role of standard treatments, precision medicine, and clinical trials.
  3. Discuss key aspects of blood cancer survivorship, including symptom management, psychosocial well-being, and available resources.
