Management of Patients With Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes 

Management of Patients With Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (LR-MDS) in a Large US Community Oncology Practice: A Focus on Patient Outcomes Post Erythropoietin Stimulating Agent (ESA) Treatment

Rapid Readouts

Rapid Readouts is a video program featuring leading experts who provide in-depth reviews of the most pivotal and practice-changing data that have been unveiled at recent medical oncology conferences. In each video, top oncologists in their specialty present slides and posters from these annual symposiums and meetings, while highlighting the ever-changing landscape of treatment choices for patient management.

The aim of this study is to describe the demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of patients with LRMDS who were managed by physicians at Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) and treated with ESAs, and to determine the proportion of LR-MDS patients who experience ESA failure and describe treatment patterns following ESA failure.
