A myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is one of a group of cancers in which blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature, and as a result, do not develop into healthy blood cells. [3] Early on, no symptoms typically are seen. [3] Later, symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, bleeding disorders, anemia, or frequent infections. [3]
At least one case of FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene-induced eosinophilic leukemia presenting with myeloid sarcoma and eosinophilia has been reported. This form of myeloid sarcoma is distinguished by its highly successful treatment with imatinib (the recommended treatment for FIP1L1-PDGRGA fusion gene-induced eosinophilic leukemia) rather than more aggressive and toxic therapy.
As 70% of myelodysplastic syndrome patients exhibit transfusion dependent anemia, [17] diagnosis of MDS can also help indicate transfusion dependency. Diagnosis of it is complexed with great diversity of symptoms, [ 3 ] and therefore most patients are only diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes when seeking clinical advice after experiencing ...
The International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS), originally published in 1997, is used by many doctors to help assess the severity of a patient's myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Based on the IPSS score, the patient's history, and the physician's own personal observations, the physician will design a treatment plan to address the MDS.

Furthermore, the disease may occur in association with the myelodysplastic syndrome or transform to acute myeloid leukemia. [4] Consequently, BPDCN has a very low 5 year survival rate. [ 5 ] Current translational research studies on treating BPDCN have therefore focused on non-chemotherapeutic regimens that target the molecular pathways which ...
