Was episode 79 too light on MDS for you? “Amateurs” you said, adjusting your sellotaped glasses. If so, you’re in the right place today as we prepare to look at classification, risk stratification and treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome. You also should seek out psychiatric attention, or perhaps just go outside. But in the meantime, enjoy this episode where we’ll dig deeper into the nitty gritty of MDS! We’ve got a lot to cover so we float about between intermediate and advanced for this episode.
