Nurse webinar 4 will provide an overview of some of the common treatments for lymphoma/CLL. We will describe how the landscape is evolving with the introduction of new therapies over recent years.
The webinar will also explore the nursing implications of how new therapies for lymphoma & CLL have changed patient care.
