ASH 2021 | Outcomes for Hispanic patients with ALL treated at centers across the US

Mikkael Sekeres, MD, MS, Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland, OH, highlights an important finding from a study which investigated the advantage of using a pediatric regimen to treat adolescents and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Dr Sekeres discusses the under-enrolment of Hispanic patients in this trial, and the importance of designing future clinical trials to ensure that they are open at sites that are reflective of the entire population. This interview took place at the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress in Atlanta, GA, 2021.
