Dear CML Advocates,

Happy New Year to all of you! I wish you all the best for 2009, with as much

health, luck and strength as possible.

In December, the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH

2008) was held in the US. Around 23.000 experts from more than 100 countries

met for the 50th " ASH " to share knowledge about the latest results in

research on leukemias. The event is quite important for the CML community

because latest results of clinical trials and long-term follow-up is being

presented.

We have compiled a short report of our visit at ASH 2008 for you:

* The report is available on the public website of CML Advocates. The

report also contains links e.g. to webcasts of the education sessions, and

other reports about ASH 2008. Read

organisation's websites, or translate it for your members into your

language.

* Some presentations and posters from the ASH sessions as well as

photos from the conference are available in the member-only area of CML

Advocates. You need to register for the website and log in, to be able to

access the presentations and photos.
