Fabio Efficace, PhD, Italian Group for Adult Hematologic Diseases (GIMEMA), Italy, discusses recent patient-reported outcome (PRO) and quality of life (QoL) results from the BMT CTN 1102 trial (NCT02016781). This trial evaluated the benefits of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) versus non-transplantation therapies in older patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (HR-MDS). Dr Efficace explains that pre-transplant QoL data provided independent prognostic information for survival in this patient group. This interview took place at the 17th International Congress on Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) 2023, held in Marseille, France.
