Overview of guidelines on iron chelation therapy in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and transfusional iron overload
International Journal of Hematology, 07/03/08
Gattermann N - These guidelines show that the approaches to managing iron overload in patients with MDS are region specific, differing in their recommendations for when iron chelation therapy should be initiated and strategies for the ongoing management of iron overload. The guidelines all agree that red blood cell transfusions are clinically beneficial to treat the symptomatic anemia in MDS, and that patients with low-risk MDS receiving transfusions are the most likely to benefit from iron chelation therapy.
