MDS Treatment Strategies: From Risk Assessment to Transplantation
Panelists discuss how the primary therapeutic goals for patients with intermediate- to high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) focus on extending survival and modifying disease course through intensive treatments like hypomethylating agents or stem cell transplantation while addressing unique challenges such as treatment resistance, poor response durability, and limited options after hypomethylating agents failure.

Many patients with IDH-mutant glioma continued to receive vorasidenib as directed in the real-world GLIO-ADHERE claims analysis.
Mirdametinib produced stable disease or partial responses in adults and children with plexiform neurofibromas who had received another MEK inhibitor.
Longer follow-up of the phase 3 INDIGO trial showed that vorasidenib lowered seizure rates in IDH-mutant glioma, an effect driven by oligodendroglioma.
Many patients with BRAF-altered pediatric low-grade glioma stayed off therapy after planned tovorafenib cessation in the 4-year FIREFLY-1 update.
Sarah Goldberg, MD, MPH, details how clinicians can choose among frontline regimens, act on resistance mechanisms, and incorporate ADCs and newer agents across the spectrum of EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
The FDA approved pimicotinib for tenosynovial giant cell tumor, accepted a gedatolisib filing in advanced breast cancer, and more.
Serial amino acid PET flagged responses earlier than MRI in IDH-mutant glioma treated with vorasidenib, interim data show.
Longer mirdametinib treatment increased confirmed and deep responses as treatment-related adverse effects declined in neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors.
