Qualifications: MBBS, MD, FRACP, FRCPA, PhDPractice Responsibilities: Clinical and laboratory haematologySpecialities: Malignant haematology and stem cell transplantationSite: Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH), Haematology DepartmentA/Prof Devendra Hiwase is a Consultant Haematologist at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Senior Lecturer, University of Adelaide and Senior Research Fellow at South Australia Health Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI). He has a special interest in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and stem cell transplantation. In 2012, he started the MDS Research Group and South Australian MDS (SA-MDS) registry. Currently, the Group is involved in clinical and translational research projects, including mutational profiling, identifying novel biomarkers, and exploring the impact of nursing case management and comprehensive geriatric assessment on patients with MDS and related disorders.A/Prof Hiwase’s research focuses on the pathogenesis of myeloid neoplasms and has presented his research findings in multiple international and national meetings and published in peer reviewed journals. He serves on the editorial board of Leukemia Research and as a reviewer for speciality journals such as Haematologica, Leukemia and Lymphoma, as well as British Journal of Haematology. He is also a subject expert reviewer (external) for NHMRC project grants and has made regular contributions to teaching, provision of specialist medical services, and involvement in local and national committees. Dr Hiwase is a fellow of RACP, RCPA and member of the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG), Haematology Society of Australasia and New Zealand (HSANZ), American Society of Hematology, and a steering committee member of the national MDS and Aplastic Anaemia registry.
Myeloid neoplasms including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are a group of blood cancers that frequently affect older people. Some patients develop MDS/AML after treatment for their primary cancer (i.e. prostate cancer, breast cancer). This group of patients are known as having therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (T-MN). There are very limited treatment options for T-MN and the survival of these patients is poor. The MDS/AML Research Group focuses on improving the clinical outcome of patients by optimising current therapies and developing new therapies.
Our research group is split into two main arms of MDS/AML research – clinical research and basic science research. The clinical team focuses on patients’ health-related issues including developing global assessment tools to assess patients’ psycho-social needs, quality of life, overall health issues, and treatment-related toxicity. We also aim to improve treatment strategies by studying other factors, such as the management of infections, transfusion support, geriatric support, anticoagulation bleeding support and autoimmune diseases. The basic science team focuses on understanding the molecular pathogenesis of MDS/AML and identify biomarkers (i.e. predisposing mutations, abnormal bone marrow environment caused by long-term chemotherapy and drug resistance proteins) which can potentially change management and developing novel therapeutic approaches.
