Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) encompass a diverse group of myeloid malignancies, and new data are changing what can be considered “optimal” care. In this “Seminar and Workshop” activity, two hematology-oncology experts employ case-centric discussions to provide experienced instruction on the changing nature of individualized care for patients with MDS. This activity includes updated evidence supporting the use of innovative therapies for first-line management of MDS anemia, how to treat patients with ESA-refractory MDS, and treatment strategies for individuals presenting with high-risk mutations or cytogenetics. Watch now and take your treatment plans for patients with MDS to new heights! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Cite clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular features that can inform timely, accurate diagnosis and prognosis in the MDS setting; Describe the evidence that supports the use of innovative therapeutics, including erythroid maturation agents, telomerase inhibitors, hypomethylating agent platforms, BCL2 inhibitors, and immunotherapy, in the management of patients with low-risk or high-risk MDS; Develop personalized MDS treatment protocols for the first-line management of anemia, in the ESA-refractory setting, and for patients presenting with high-risk MDS subtypes; and Address practical aspects of modern MDS therapy, including appropriate dose selection, response monitoring, and therapy-related adverse events management
