Hereditary Hematological Malignancies (HHMs): A New Era of Discovery in MDS and AML (EHA2024)

As knowledge about hereditary hematological malignancies (HHMs) increases, so do the options for better management of these diseases. Please join us in this podcast to hear Dr Kiran Tawana from Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, UK, share her insights on this topic. HHMs are syndromes where two or more cases of cytopenia and hematological malignancy (typically MDS/AML) occur within the same family.

Dr Tawana discusses the discovery of HHMs and provides advice on how to recognize them in clinical practice, which can be hampered by low penetrance and significant differences in disease latency.


Listen to the stories of families affected by HHMs and how the molecular insights gathered from disease evolution in these case studies provide base for improved management of patients in the future. Tune in to hear the recommendations of dr. Tawana on how to optimize testing in clinical pathways and improve outcomes for people with HHMs.


Guest: Dr Kiran Tawana
