EHA 2024 | The importance of treating anemia early to avoid transfusion-dependence in LR-MDS

Matteo Della Porta, MD, IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, Milan, Italy, emphasizes the importance of treating anemia early before the need for regular transfusions in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS). He notes that the history of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) shows better patient responses when treatment begins before anemia onset. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
