Can IPSS-R be used as a prognostic tool in HSCT in regions where molecular analysis is unavailable?

Barroso Duarte begins by discussing a study that enrolled 333 patients across Latin America, and how the IPSS-R affects the overall survival of patients, by comparing low-risk to high-risk patients. Magalhães goes on to mention the difficulty of accessing karyotype analysis in this region, which can affect patient outcomes. Finally, Barroso Duarte summarizes how improving access to cytogenetics will impact survival.
