11th International Symposium on Myelodysplastic Syndromes - MDS 2011

  • 18-21 May 2011
  • Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC), United Kingdom

Description

The 10th symposium was held in Patras, Greece in 2009. Since then, there have been many exciting new developments in the field. Updates on evidenced-based research and management will be covered by world-renowned experts and there will be ample time for discussion during the congress.

At the previous symposium, over 1,400 professionals from the field of hematology enjoyed a stimulating scientific and social programme. We expect even more participants at the Edinburgh symposium and an equally inspiring programme.

The scientific program is designed to meet the aims of The MDS Foundation, which are “to provide an ongoing exchange of information relating to MDS and provides patients with referrals to Centers of Excellence, contact names for available clinical trials, sharing of new research and treatment options between physicians, and extension of educational support to both physicians and patients." The format will include plenary sessions (including a nursing symposium), debates, case-based discussion, topical workshops, oral and poster presentations.

This 11th symposium will again promote the clinical application of existing knowledge and the acquisition of new knowledge by bringing together clinicians, scientists and educators from around the world who deal with MDS.



Topics will include:

  • Clinical Outcome: General
  • Diagnostics (including morphology, flow cytometry, molecular)
  • Epidemiology (including demographics, quality of life, co-morbidity)
  • Pathogenesis
  • Prognostic Factors and Models
  • Supportive Care including Iron Chelation Therapy
  • Stem Cell Transplantation
  • Therapy
  • Past Events
