MDS Hub maintains its focus on raising the levels of global knowledge of myelodysplastic syndromes in 2021

Press Release: Available for Immediate Release

The MDS Hub, run by Scientific Education Support (SES) in partnership with the European LeukemiaNet (ELN), has continued to promote significant developments in the treatment and research of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) throughout Quarter 3 of 2021.

The MDS Hub provides news on the latest medical advancements relating to MDS, including updates on ongoing clinical trials and materials regarding cutting-edge discoveries in treatments and therapeutic regimens.

Reviewing the MDS Hub’s activity, Mia Hill, IME Director at Scientific Education Support, said:

“In September, the MDS Hub provided live coverage of the ninth annual meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2021). We provided extensive coverage of the event through our social media channels, resulting in over 6,500 impressions and over 100 direct website visits. Most sessions were focused on current combination therapies, new approaches for lower-risk MDS, and future prospects for the management of MDS.

September was a busy month for the MDS Hub as we also covered the 16th International Congress on Myelodysplastic Syndromes, providing articles and interviews with key opinion leaders on the latest material from this meeting. Finally, we rounded off Quarter 3 with interview coverage of the International Academy for Clinical Hematology (IACH).”

We would like to take this opportunity to show our gratitude for our existing supporters—Novartis (Silver), Bristol Myers Squibb (Bronze), Geron Corporation (Contributor), and Takeda (Contributor).

About myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) refer to a group of hematopoietic disorders that result in the production of insufficient numbers of healthy blood cells, along with changes in bone marrow morphology and, eventually, overall failure of the bone marrow. Progression of MDS can be indolent or aggressive, and some patients may go on to develop acute myeloid leukemia.
