Program Description
This educational satellite symposium from the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology on the pathology of myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS) includes an engaging cross-disciplinary interview among hematopathologists and hematologic oncologists that is enhanced by media-rich infographics and a downloadable pathologist pocket guide. This session allows for deeper faculty engagement with audience members who will be able to ask questions during the session. The goal of this satellite symposium is to improve patient outcomes in MDS-RS and MDS/MPN-RS-T.

Educational Objectives
  • Define the clinical and pathologic features of MDS-RS and MDS/MPN-RS-T and their classification based on 2016 WHO criteria
  • Incorporate clinical features, peripheral blood and bone marrow findings, morphology, and cytogenetic and molecular analyses to establish a diagnosis of MDS-RS or MDS/MPN-RS-T
  • Address diagnostic challenges to guide evidence-based treatment strategies for patients with MDS-RS and MDS/MPN-RS-T

Intended Audience
This activity is designed for pathologists, hematopathologists, hematologists, hematologic oncologists, nurses, advanced practitioners (NPs/PAs), and other clinicians involved in the management of MDS patients.
