Navigating Treatment Options in Low-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes

March 16, 2017
By Valeria Santini, MD
Video

This video explores the current treatment landscape for lower-risk MDS patients, including the various agents and sequencing strategies employed to best optimize outcomes.

With advances in the understanding of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), both in the pathogenesis and biology of the disease, and with newer treatments and methods of supportive care, survival of patients with MDS has markedly improved.

In this video, Valeria Santini, MD, of the University of Florence in Italy, explores the current treatment landscape for lower-risk MDS patients, including the various agents and sequencing strategies employed to best optimize outcomes.

Santini also discusses treatment decisions based on molecular alterations and when experimental therapies might be most appropriate.

A new clinical trial aims to offer a novel allogenic CAR T-cell product for patients with lymphoma closer to home.
Modification of REMS programs may help patients travel back to community practices sooner, according to Suman Kambhampati, MD.
Symposiums and regional meetings may expand knowledge of how to adopt novel CAR T-cell therapies and bispecific antibodies, said Suman Kambhampati, MD.
It can cause thrombocytopenia and diarrhea, which are generally manageable and not too big a deal.
Generally, the communication in academic oncology institutions is favorable; however, when oncologists and pathologists become busy, specimens may be sent to reference laboratories.
The requirement for morphological dysplasia may become less important in the presence of molecular drivers of myelodysplastic syndrome.
Predictors of response have a significant effect on clinical decision-making because they may help oncologists select the best treatment for specific patients.
