Published in Cancers (Basel) on April 19, 2024
- Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDSs) are a group of blood cancers that often affect older people.
- Changes in the genes of blood stem cells cause these diseases.
- New research on the genes of MDS has given us important information about how the diseases develop.
- These insights have led to new treatment options, especially for specific groups of patients with certain gene changes.
- This review talks about how to diagnose MDS, recent updates in how we classify the diseases, systems to predict how the diseases may progress, and new treatments.
- These findings can help improve how we run clinical trials and better care for adults with MDS, especially those with specific gene changes.
