oBJectIVeS:

At the end of the seminar the audience will:

1. Be familiar with the current Canadian landscape regarding the approach to collection of autologous hematopoietic stem cells2. Be familiar with the data supporting different ways in which Mozobil has been used to facilitate autologous hematopoietic stem

cell collection3. Be familiar with the planned “Canadian context” decision analysis regarding autologous hematopoietic stem cell collection

case Based Discussions: After some brief introductory and background slides, the session will use a series of short clinical vignettes to discuss clinical practice variation and the relevant data regarding approaches to autologous hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. The ultimate goal will be to introduce the investigator initiated “Canadian context” decision analysis to determine the optimal approach to mobilizing autologous hematopoietic cell grafts.

Each case would include at least one audience survey question as to how they would approach the issue.
