US Oncologist Survey: Optimizing Treatment for Advanced Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Experience real patient situations that progressively unfold, presented to a representative sample of 158 US oncologists who manage 11 or more patients monthly with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Oncologists were presented with four patient case scenarios and asked to respond to open-ended questions concerning their choices of treatment regimens, factors that influenced their decisions, and barriers to optimal patient management. This primary research provides the oncology prescribing information that you are missing, directly from high-prescribing US oncologists on the treatment of specific patient types.
Patient situations:
This report allows you to:
Patient situations:
- Asymptomatic indolent lymphoma
- Elderly infirm patient with advanced follicular lymphoma
- Relapsed large cell lymphoma and
- Large cell lymphoma with compromised cardiac function
This report allows you to:
- Understand what occurs with actual patients
- Access the most up-to-date prescribing trends
- Gain actionable data for developing and improving your market strategies
- Pinpoint needs of your target audience
- Focus resources to maximize the effectiveness of your budget
- Understand where your product fits
- Understand where your competitor’s product fits
- Design messages to advance brand performance
