Program

The ICCS Virtual Course program will be created from both live events and pre-recorded (on-demand) events.

The live events will take place July 28-29, 2022 and will be recorded. Recorded material will be available on-demand to view at a time which is convenient to you and will be available until September 1, 2022.

Times listed below are based on Eastern Time (ET).

LIVE EVENT DATES
Thursday, July 28 - Friday, July 29

The program is expected to start at 10:00 am ET each day. There will be general sessions, networking opportunities and hands-on interactive sessions for both beginners and those with more experience.

The beginner track is recommended for those who have less than 3 years experience in data analysis and interpretation for clinical leukemia/lymphoma flow cytometry samples. It is designed to provide a solid introduction to leukemia and lymphoma flow cytometry, presenting common entities encountered in the flow lab and how to identify them. There will be interactive cases presentations focusing on classic phenotypes of common entities.

The experienced track is recommended for those who feel comfortable with data analysis and interpretation of routine leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma cases. It is designed to present more challenging and nuanced cases that are not as straightforward as well as more advanced topics and applications of flow cytometry – like assessment for minimum residual disease.

Monday, January 25th

10:00 - 12:20 PM Plenary Session

WELCOME & GENERAL SESSION 1: CLINICAL FLOW CYTOMETRY TOOLKIT: INSTRUMENTS AND PANELS Chair/Organizer: Andrea Marcogliese Virtual Room 1 Learning Objectives: Describe the utility of flow cytometry in the diagnosis of benign and malignant hematolymphoid disorders Recognize the components of a flow cytometer Describe an approach to panel design for a flow cytometry assay and what elements should be considered

11:00 - 11:15 AM Educational Workshop

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP - ASSESSING FETAL MATERNAL HEMORRHAGE (FMH) BY FLOW CYTOMETRY Virtual Room 3

12:30 - 12:50 PM Corporate Workshop

CYTOGNOS CORPORATE ON-DEMAND WORKSHOP Virtual Room 2 Flow cytometry is a very powerful and versatile tool in clinical diagnosis and yet complex that requires a careful assay design, instrument set-up, performance validation and quality monitoring. Following a standardized approach that addresses the demanding requirements of a CAP/CLIA lab is key to ensure consistency and reliability of results. Watch this video to learn about the standardized EuroFlow method, the only clinically-validated approach for onco-hematology that covers all steps of the flow cytometry assay, from sample handling to clinical reporting.

2:00 - 3:00 PM Plenary Session

GENERAL SESSION 2: CLINICAL FLOW CYTOMETRY TOOLKIT: NORMAL HEMATOPOIETIC CELLS Chair/Organizer: Mike Keeney Virtual Room 1 General Session 2 Learning Objectives: Recognize normal myeloid and lymphoid populations and their maturation patterns by flow cytometry Use flow cytometry to analyze normal hematolymphoid populations in lymph nodes, bone marrows, and peripheral blood

3:45 - 6:30 PM Educational Workshop

BEGINNERS CASE TOPICS - DAY 1 Chair/Organizer: Sindhu Cherian Virtual Room 3 Beginner's Case Topics Day 1 Learning Objectives: Recognize normal components of bone marrow on bivariate dot plots of flow cytometry data Describe how assigning colors to different populations can be used to define both normal and abnormal differentiation Identify normal and abnormal B cell populations and discuss the utility of flow cytometry in the classification of B cell lymphomas

EXPERIENCED CASE TOPICS - DAY 1 Chair/Organizer: Adam Seegmiller Virtual Room 4 Experienced Case Topics Day 1 Learning Objectives: Identify aberrant B cell and plasma cell populations and use flow cytometry to classify B cell lymphomas and plasma cell neoplasms Identify aberrant mature T cell populations and use flow cytometry to identify and classify T cell lymphomas

6:45 - 7:45 PM Social Event
