The baseline assessment and subsequent management of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is increasingly personalized to address the unique biology of this disorder and the well-recognized unmet medical needs of patients. PeerView’s unique Seminars & Tumor Board live event will explore this new therapeutic territory by pairing compelling case scenarios with collaborative real-world tumor board decision-making and, in doing so, provide expert guidance on the practice-changing evidence driving precision medicine in LR- and HR-MDS. Throughout, expert faculty will offer insights on 1) team-based methods for patient assessment, diagnosis, and prognostic assessment; 2) the challenges of characterizing and designing treatment plans for LR- and HR-MDS; 3) updated evidence supporting the use of innovative therapies for the 1L management of MDS anemia, ESA-refractory patients, and individuals presenting with high-risk mutations or cytogenetics (including TP53 mutations); and 4) practical strategies for effective delivery of care.
