This medical education webinar explores diagnostic and management approaches for pediatric thrombocytopenia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

The presenters highlight how to distinguish between immune and inherited causes of thrombocytopenia, when to suspect germline predisposition in bone marrow failure/MDS, and how comprehensive molecular profiling informs AML risk and treatment decisions.

Learning Objectives

• Understand accurate diagnosis and management of pediatric thrombocytopenia

• Recognize the diagnostic and management implications of pediatric MDS.

• Learn how molecular profiling shapes treatment strategies in pediatric AML.
