Seventy-five esteemed Professors from the National And Kapodistrian University of Athens and Mayo Clinic presented the newest data pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment of solid tumors, hematologic neoplasms , as well as other hematologic diseases and disorders associated with blood coagulation.
