The prognosis for multiple myeloma patients has improved substantially over the past decade with the development of more effective chemotherapeutic agents and regimens that possess a high level of anti-tumour activity. However, nearly all multiple myeloma patients ultimately relapse, even those who experience a complete response to initial therapy. Management of relapsed disease remains a critical aspect of multiple myeloma care and an important area of ongoing research. This manuscript from the Belgian Haematology Society multiple myeloma subgroup provides some recommendations on the management of relapsed disease.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic malignancies characterized by peripheral blood cytopenias, due to ineffective erythropoiesis and a risk for progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Progress in this field aims to decrease the transfusion burden, delay progression to AML, improve the quality-of-life of patients and extend survival.
