MDS treatment algorithm
 

Considering that MDS is a condition with so many inter-related parameters, it is difficult (even for highly qualified medical professionals) to prescribe a clear treatment path.

I came across a few links on this topic, particularly the following:

http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2006494-overview - the best I have seen so far although it doesn't have a flowchart

http://www.meniscus.com/mei/ceofferi..._Algorithm.pdf.

http://www.usask.ca/cme/learning_res...Guidelines.pdf

I would appreciate the members' perspectives and inputs.

MDS
 

Hi ccnarayanan,
They all seem to be OK except that nr 2 "MDS Treatment Algorithm" recommends SCT for low and Interm-1 patients.

I don't think that is generally accepted. After 5 years more patients from this group have survived with the best possible care compared to the SCT patients.
Kind regards
