Making The Call in Lower-Risk MDS Exploring Treatments That Improve Outcomes & Decrease Transfusion Burden
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 ... |

Cracking the Code to Successful Stem Cell Mobilization in Multiple Myeloma
STATEMENT OF NEED
Multiple myeloma is the leading indication of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in hematologic malignancies, with high-dose therapy followed by ASCT representing a potentially curative treatment modality for eligible patients. Collecting peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) is an essential component of ASCT, and the collection of sufficient autologous PBSCs relies on the successful mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow niche i... |
