Hey Cheri & Birgitta!
I'm following this discussion with great interest, and really appreciate Birgitta'a summary of the various effects of thalidomide.
Birgitta, have you run across any studies that suggest which MDS patients might be most likely to respond to treatment with thalidomide? Or is that question -- like with the use of immunosuppressants -- still being worked out?
Take care!
Greg
