A funny story from EHA2023 – Amer Zeidan
A funny story from EHA2023: After I gave a presentation on new therapies for MDS, someone asked me if I was aware of the newly published IWG2023 response criteria for higher risk MDS & how applying them would potentially affect the reported responses for one of the therapies I covered which used the old 2006 criteria!
I didn’t want to embarrass the person who asked the question by pointing out that I was the lead author on the revised response criteria paper & just said that I am well aware of the criteria, but it was quite hilarious for the people who witnessed the exchange!
