| Abstract: |
This section about myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is from a comprehensive reference book that covers the full spectrum of cancers in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system, including leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. The myelodysplastic syndrome is a heterogeneous group of clonal neoplastic stem cell disorders and is characterized by bone marrow failure with peripheral cytopenias and a tendency to progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This section offers seven chapters: molecular biology, pathology, and cytogenetics in MDS; clinical features and making the diagnosis; the recommended treatment approach for early MDS; aplastic anemia and stem cell failure; allogeneic stem cell transplantation for MDS and aplastic anemia; definition of remission, prognosis, and follow-up in patients with MDS; and treatment of relapsed or refractory MDS and new frontiers in MDS therapy. The chapters are illustrated with black-and-white clinical pictures and photomicrographs. Each chapter concludes with an extensive list of references. |
