About Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of
hematologic malignancies
that affect approximately 300,000 people worldwide. Myelodysplastic syndromes
occur when blood cells remain in an immature or "blast" stage within the bone
marrow and never
develop into mature cells capable of performing their
necessary functions.
