EHA 2024 | Personalizing treatment of transfusion-dependent anemia in LR-MDS

Matteo Della Porta, MD, IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital, Milan, Italy, discusses the potential of personalized medicine for treating transfusion-dependent anemia in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS). He explains that treatment can be tailored based on the mechanism of ineffective hematopoiesis. For instance, patients with 5q deletions may respond well to lenalidomide, while those with splicing-related mutations may benefit more from luspatercept. This interview took place at the 29th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) in Madrid, Spain.
