PATIENT
SYMPOSIA ARE BEING ESTABLISHED BY THE MDS FOUNDATION
We
are pleased to announce that we are currently developing patient
symposia nationwide to be centered around our MDS Centers of Excellence.
Our upcoming special conferences will afford patients and their
guests the opportunity to listen to guest speakers who are experts
in MDS. They will also be given the opportunity to participate in
a question and answer session with the medical presenters. These
programs will begin 2004. Further developments will be posted on
our website or for more information contact the Patient Liaison
at 1-800-MDS-0839.
The 2nd International Congress of the Myeloproliferative Diseases
and Myelodysplastic Syndromes was held on October 15th at the New
York Hilton Hotel.
We
were very pleased that our Chairman, Dr. John Bennett was one of
the featured speakers on MDS, as was Alan F. List, a member of our
Board. Our Centers of Excellence were well represented by Dr. Richard
Silver from New York Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Jerry Spivak from
Johns Hopkins, Tiziano Barbui from Italy, Ayalew Tefferi from The
Mayo Clinic, Dr. List from the University of South Florida, and
Dr. Bennett from the University of Rochester.
