title: [Current progress and future direction of hemophilia treatment].
abstract: Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder, for which treatments are still being developing and several new agents are providing better quality of life for patents. National evidence- and/or practice-based guidelines have been published by JSTH. Recommendations offered for the hemostatic management of hemophilia have assisted healthcare providers in initiating general hemophilia care. This article first reviews the two national guidelines for patients with/without inhibitor treatments. Then, future perspectives on progress in current treatment as well as the newer agents are summarized. Treatment options anticipated to be available in the near future are proposed for all caregivers in Japan.
