Sickle Cell disease is a genetic blood disorder affecting approximately 100,000 Americans. Patients need therapy to cure, delay disease progression, or mitigate disease-related effects. In the last 5 years the number of therapies to delay the progression of sickle cell disease has tripled. Do not miss the opportunity to hear from experts in the field on what these new therapeutics mean for the management of sickle cell disease.
