Notes
AlloHCT is the only curative option for MDS-HR; survival benefit consistently demonstrated in IPSS-R high / very-high. Biological-age + comorbidity + donor + caregiver support determine eligibility, not chronological age alone (HCT-CI / Sorror score is the key tool). Triggers donor search initiation alongside HMA — do NOT wait for HMA failure as donor search takes 3-6 months. STUB — requires clinical co-lead signoff.
