Our 29 Working Groups and their coordinators – AIEOP

The Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AIEOP) shared on LinkedIn:

“TO ALL OUR NEW FOLLOWERS – We would like to introduce you to our 29 Working Groups and their coordinators as an opportunity for the international medical community to get to know them and their important work!

Meet AIEOP’s Myelodysplastic Syndromes WG and Coordinator Riccardo Masetti.

What is the overall goal and a specific current goal of the WG?

“Since the 2000s, the WG has focused mainly on the objective of establishing a national diagnostic network for the characterization of these rare pathologies and above all to standardize therapeutic management on the territorial scene with recommendations and behavioral protocols in line with those in Europe.

During the last 10 years the diagnostic revolution brought about by the new gene sequencing technologies has led the group towards committing resources to the identification of genetic conditions predisposing to the development of myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative syndromes. The current objective is to guarantee a diagnostic and therapeutic approach on a national level that integrates various professionals in a multidisciplinary way to allow for a significant improvement in the treatment rates of these diseases.”
