Rami Komrokji, MD, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Tampa, FL, addresses the novel Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M), and describes a study validating its use in the risk stratification of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Patients previously classified using the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) were re-classified using the IPSS-M, which gave accurate predictions of leukemia-free and overall survival (OS). Dr Komrokji also highlights the need to address how reclassification with the IPSS-M may impact treatment strategies. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress held in New Orleans, LA.
