Abstract
Patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS) have poor survival and are in need of more effective therapy options. Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) are the current standard of care and are being studied in combination with a number of novel therapies. Recent evidence, however, has delivered sub-optimal results, prompting the need to revisit patient selection criteria, treatment schedules, and clinical endpoints to better inform future studies and steer endpoints towards those that are clinically meaningful to patients.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
