Overview / Abstract: |
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are among the most common hematologic malignancies and are characterized by their risk of progression to acute leukemia. Although patients with lower-risk MDS (LR-MDS) have longer life expectancies compared to those with high-risk disease, their disease course is not without challenges. In fact, symptoms related to anemia are very common in this population and lead to poor quality of life. Fortunately, therapies are now available to treat the anemia associated with LR-MDS and improve outcomes across the spectrum of patient and disease profiles. In this Phone-a-Friend series, expert faculty will discuss the management of anemia in 4 different real-life clinical scenarios representative of the heterogeneous spectrum of LR-MDS. |
