Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly redefining how hematologic malignancies are diagnosed, stratified and monitored. Yet many labs still rely on fragmented single-gene or send-out testing, delaying results and limiting the clinical picture available to hematologists.
Join Professor and Senior Physician in Clinical Genetics Richard Rosenquist Brandell Karolinska Institutet & Director of Genomic Medicine Sweden for an in-depth look at how comprehensive, local NGS including whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing (WGTS), is becoming a new standard of care in acute leukemias and lymphoid malignancies. Prof. Rosenquist will share practical lessons, guideline evolution, and a clear-eyed view of what clinical laboratories should consider today when planning their NGS journey .
Learning Objectives:
Understand the current role of NGS including targeted panels and WGTS in the diagnosis, classification and monitoring of hematologic malignancies.
Genomic Medicine Sweden) are implementing NGS at scale, and what this means for individual labs planning the transition from send-out or single-gene testing to in-house workflows.
Gain evidence-based perspectives on how NGS-driven diagnostics translate into better risk stratification, improved patient outcomes, and stronger alignment with evolving international guidelines (ELN, WHO-HAEM5, ICC).
Identify technical and regulatory considerations for bringing decentralised in-house NGS testing into clinical practice.
