https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/News/Pages/UCLHWebchatMDS.aspx
We plan to submit the following questions:
- Which MDS trials do you think are most promising at the moment?
- What MDS trials is UCLH currently running in MDS?
- Are you using lenalidomide for MDS patients who are not del 5q (on a off-label basis)? Can you tell us about your experience so far?
- Can you tell us more about the UCLH ambulatory stem cell transplant setup ?
How does it work – how does it differ from the experience in the normal hospital setting?
UCLH opened an ambulatory stem cell transplant “hotel” for patients who are having their treatment there – in isolation – it is called the Cotton Rooms.
