The CDCN’s Annual “Accelerating Research & Treatment for Castleman Disease,” Working Dinner helps to disseminate cutting edge Castleman disease research
In light of the global Coronavirus crisis, the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN) will again host the 10th Annual “Accelerating Research & Treatment for Castleman Disease,” working dinner in a virtual (online) format on Monday, February 7, 2022, outside of our traditional time during the annual American Society of Hematology Meeting.
The CDCN virtual working dinner will be attended by physicians and researchers from around the globe, who are dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of Castleman disease. The event serves as an opportunity for the CDCN’s network of physicians and researchers to discuss cutting edge research and important issues for patient care.

We will be showcasing research related to Castleman disease for 55 minutes (4:00-4:55PM EST) before the virtual working dinner through an optional virtual poster session. If you would like to present your research during this time, please submit an abstract here by Friday, January 28th.
