EHA 2022 | The impact of ESAs in lower-risk MDS
Hege Garelius, MD, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg, Sweden, outlines the results of a study investigating the impact of erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs) in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The study showed that patients receiving ESAs prior to transfusions had an improved overall survival (OS), and that patients who were transfused had a worse quality of life (QoL) than patients who were not. This interview took place at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress 2022 held in Vienna, Austria.
