Rami Komrokji, MD, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Tampa, FL, discusses the new World Health Organization (WHO) and International Consensus Classification (ICC) for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and the results of a study assessing their prognostic value. These guidelines characterize MDS based on molecular events, including SF3B1, TP53, and del(5q). Dr Komrokji highlights that multivariate analysis indicated that TP53 mutation status was the strongest predictor of patient outcome, in addition to multilineage dysplasia, myeloblast percentage, fibrosis, and SF3B1. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress held in New Orleans, LA.
