  • For more than two decades, MDS patient risk stratification at diagnosis was based on diagnostic blood counts, morphology, and cytogenetics through the International Prognostic Scoring System.
  • The creation of an effective set of prognostic guidelines was especially important for MDS because current clinical courses are very heterogeneous.
  • The results of this investigation, led by Drs Elsa Bernard, Elli Papaemmanuil and IWG colleagues, 'Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System for MDS (IPSS-M)', have just been published in the June 12, 2022 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine Evidence.
