Though many advances have been made in neutropenias, diagnosis and management are still based on physicians’ experience or local practices. Prof Francesca Fioredda and Prof Helen Papadaki, two co-authors of the HemaSphere published article The European Guidelines on Diagnosis and Management of Neutropenia in Adults and Children: A Consensus Between the European Hematology Association and the EuNet-INNOCHRON COST Action, discuss with host Dr Stephen Hibbs the challenges and outcomes in creating a guideline for diagnosis and managing neutropenia in adults and children. Read the referenced article on the HemaSphere website and watch on YouTube.

POEMS syndrome (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, M-protein and Skin changes) is rare, and systemic manifestations are commonly overlooked initially. Diagnosis is often delayed 12-16 months, during which patients can be severely disabled. No established treatment guidelines exist for POEMS. A recent HemaSphere published article Comprehensive Diagnosis and Management of POEMS Syndrome offers a clinical blueprint for managing POEMS, from diagnostics to work-up, therapy selection, follow-up, and relapse treatment. Shirley d'Sa & Michael Lunn, two co-authors of the article discuss with host Dr Stephen Hibbs, in this second of two episodes,  why multidisciplinary collaboration is essential.
