Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). myelodysplastic syndromes affect the production and behavior of blood cell production and behavior.
http://www.cedars-sinai.edu/5693.html

Extractions: Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Myelodysplastic syndromes affect blood cell production and behavior. Blood carries oxygen, chemicals and hormones to the cells in the body and helps remove toxins and waste. Bone marrow (the spongy middle part of the large bones) produces the three main types of blood cells: The five categories of MDS are: The disease categories on the lower end of this list are more serious and have a worse prognosis than those at the top. Refractory anemia and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts primarily affect the red blood cells and are the most common forms of MDS. Refractory anemia with excess blasts is present when immature white blood cells are found in the bone marrow in abnormally large numbers (five to 20% bone marrow blasts, compared to normal blasts of less than one percent). Refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation occurs when blasts become markedly increased (more than 20%) and may indicate that MDS will change to an acute form of leukemia.

Extractions: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), also known as pre-leukemias, tend to occur in patients who have low blood counts, despite the presence of normal or higher-than-normal numbers of blood-forming cells in their bone marrow. Approximately 10,000 cases are diagnosed in the United States each year, usually among people over age 60. Rush doctors have been able to turn laboratory advances into improved therapies for patients. One such treatment, developed at Rush, involves the use of a combination of nontoxic drugs to regulate the abnormal blood-cell death observed in MDS patients. This therapy helps many patients with MDS, and causes few side effects.

Extractions: UM Greenebaum Cancer Center - Cancer Overviews Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of diseases in which the bone marrow does not function normally and not enough normal blood cells are made. These abnormal bone marrow cells do not form blood cells effectively and most of the blood cells produced by these abnormal marrow cells are defective. These abnormal blood cells are usually destroyed before they leave the bone marrow or shortly after entering the bloodstream. IN THIS OVERVIEW... What are MDS? Greenebaum Cancer Center As a result, patients have shortages of blood cells, which are reflected in their low blood counts. In about 30 percent of cases of MDS, the bone marrow cells continue to become more abnormal, and eventually develop into acute leukemia, a rapidly growing cancer of bone marrow cells. According to the American Cancer Society, in about 30 percent of MDS cases, the abnormal bone marrow cells eventually progress into acute leukemia. Although some doctors believe MDS is an early form of leukemia, many MDS patients never develop leukemia.

Extractions: This 77 y/o female presented with left hip pain and anemia after a fall. Plain films demonstrated some degenerative osteoarthritic changes but were otherwise unremarkable. An MRI with coronal T1 and fat saturated inversion recovery and axial proton density and fat saturated T2 weighted sequences was performed. Selected images from the MRI scan shown above demonstrate diffuse abnormal marrow signal and abnormal signal in the obturator internus. The abnormal signal in the obturator was felt to be due to muscle strain and was likely the cause of the acute left hip symptoms. Bone marrow biopsy and subsequent consultation with the Hematopathology Department at City of Hope National Medical Center with immunostains and expert morphologic review of peripheral blood and marrow led to the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome.

http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cancernet/202495.html

Extractions: Myelodysplastic syndromes, also called pre-leukemia or "smoldering" leukemia, are diseases in which the bone marrow does not function normally and not enough normal blood cells are made. The bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside the large bones in the body. The bone marrow makes red blood cells (which carry oxygen and other materials to all tissues of the body), white blood cells (which fight infection), and platelets (which make the blood clot). Normally, bone marrow cells called blasts develop (mature) into several different types of blood cells that have specific jobs in the body. Myelodysplastic syndromes occur most often in older people, but they can occur in younger people. The most common sign is anemia, which means there are too few mature red blood cells to carry oxygen. There may also be too few white blood cells in the blood to fight infections. If the number of platelets in the blood is lower than normal, this may cause people to bleed or bruise more easily. A doctor should be seen if a person bleeds without any reason, bruises more easily than normal, has an infection that won't go away, or feels tired all the time. If there are symptoms, a doctor may order blood tests to count the number of each kind of blood cell. If the results of the blood test are not normal, the doctor may do a bone marrow biopsy. During this test, a needle is inserted into a bone and a small amount of bone marrow is taken out and looked at under the microscope. The doctor can then determine the kind of disease and plan the best treatment.
Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Definition and Classification The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders which are characterized by abnormal stem cell differentiation
http://home.uchicago.edu/~adamcifu/MDS.htm

Extractions: The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders which are characterized by abnormal stem cell differentiation resulting primarily in peripheral cytopenias. They are fatal disorders which lead to death either through bone marrow failure or by transformation to leukemia. Life expectancy and likelihood of leukemic transformation varies with subtype of disease. MDS was initially referred to as refractory anemia because it was refractory to vitamin supplimentation. It has also been called preleukemia because of the presence of blasts in the marrows of some of these patients and smoldering leukemia because despite the presence of blasts the disease course is more protracted than AML. The most recent FAB classification goes a long way towards helping to organize MDS as each of the 5 subtypes has a somewhat different histology and prognosis. They are as follows: Refractory anemia without ringed sideroblasts (RA) usually presents clinically with anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia. There are no blasts on the peripheral smear and the bone marrow shows less 15% ringed sideroblasts and less than 5% blasts. Refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) is similar to RA but the abnormalities both in the periphery and in the marrow are more confined to the erythroid line. >15% of the erythrocytes are ringed sideroblasts. The ring is formed by iron deposits resulting from derangements in erythropoiesis
