Friday Satellite Symposium: MDS and MDS/MPN: Past, Present, and Future
This satellite symposium focused on providing an in-depth and up-to-date review of research related to the biology, prognosis, natural history and therapeutic management of
myelodysplastic syndromes
myelodysplastic syndromes:
(my-eh-lo-diss-PLASS-tik SIN-dromez) A group of disorders where the bone marrow does not work well, and the bone marrow cells fail to make enough healthy blood cells. Myelo refers to the bone marrow. Dysplastic means abnormal growth or development. People with MDS have low blood cell count for at…
(MDS) and myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) overlap.
The program brought together leaders in disease research and clinical practice to explore solutions to improving the care of these patient populations.
Video interviews with Symposium presenters and lay language summaries are available.
4th International Bone Marrow Failure Disease Scientific Symposium 2014
Held in March 2014, The purpose of the 2014 International symposium convened physicians treating bone marrow failure diseases and laboratory researchers studying the immunology and cell biology of bone marrow failure bone marrow failure: A condition that occurs when the bone marrow stops making enough healthy blood cells. The most common of these rare diseases are aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Bone marrow failure can be acquired (begin any time in life) or can be… to discuss current areas of controversy, share recent research results and propose specific recommendations for the highest priority directions for basic and clinical research clinical research: A type of research that involves individual persons or a group of people. There are three types of clinical research. Patient-oriented research includes clinical trials which test how a drug, medical device, or treatment approach works in people. Epidemiology or behavioral studies look at the… needed to advance the field.
