Wide Variation in Use and Interpretation of Gene Mutation Profiling Panels Among Health Care Providers of Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Results of a Large Web-Based Survey
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly employed for diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We aimed to describe beliefs and practice patterns among providers who treat MDS patients with respect to the utility of NGS in diagnosis, risk stratification, prognosis, and treatment decisions at various points along the disease trajectory, response assessment, and development of institutional guidelines for MDS-specific molecular profiling.
