| | The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders characterized by 1 or more peripheral blood cytopenias secondary to bone marrow dysfunction. | | | Hellström-Lindberg E, Kanter-Lewensohn L, Ost A: Morphological changes and apoptosis in bone marrow from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes treated with granulocyte-CSF and erythropoietin. | | | The morphological classification of the MDS is largely based on the percent of myeloblasts in the bone marrow and blood, the type and degree of myeloid dysplasia, and the presence of ringed sideroblasts. |

| | The more accurately descriptive and appropriate designation as a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) was adopted in 1976 by the French-American-British (FAB) Study Group. | | | This constellation of findings raises the question of whether the MDS represents a frank neoplastic state or is merely a preneoplastic condition in transition. | | | These particular "preleukemic states" which can lead to leukemia are beyond the scope of this chapter. |

| | The blood cell - related cancers referred to as myelodysplastic diseases may be non-progressive and have little consequence to ones health and life-expectancy or, more often, are slower progressing types of myelogenous leukemia that may have a profound effect on health and life-expectancy. | | | Use of the suffix -dysplasia is both misleading and imprecise for medical usage because these are not dysplastic diseases; they are neoplastic diseases. | | | In the late 1970's, the term myelodysplastic syndrome, abbreviated as MDS, was coined to encompass a subset of these neoplasms. |
