Description: 

This seminar will explore the use of a geospatial tool to integrate big data in analysis of acute leukemias. A brief overview of development of the tool, use in socioeconomic determinants of health, and application to risk factors in acute leukemias will be discussed. Tool development, and a chronologic tour of the application of the tool to disease, specifically myeloid and monocytic leukemias. Preliminary data regarding analysis of WHO 2016 AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities will be explored. Utility and limitations of this technique will be discussed as well as possibilities for future applications.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the classification of leukemia as defined by WHO 2016 criteria.
  • Recognize the use of a geospatial tool in application to big data.
  • Discuss the implications of environment, socioeconomic determinants of heath, and other risk factors in general and specifically to acute myeloid leukemias.
  • Examine the challenges, problems and limitations of this type of analysis.
