From
the 2021 Joint Annual Meeting (recorded 6/29/2021)
Presented
by Ranjana Arora, MD, MPH
Myeloid malignancies are complex clonal diseases with vast genetic
heterogeneity and vast clonal evolution with disease progression. Molecular
profiling is important for diagnosis, treatment, risk stratification, and
understanding the evolution of disease with time. These diseases often show
more than one mutation, and the use of multigene next generation sequencing
(NGS) panels is important in not only diagnosis but also in deciding the
treatment and response to therapy with follow-up for measurable disease
assessment.
LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
At the
conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Role of Precision Medicine in diagnosis and treatment of myeloid malignancies.
- Clinical relevance and interpretation of next generation sequencing assay (NGS) in myeloid malignancies.
- Role of NGS in monitoring disease and understanding clonal evolution of disease.
