Myelodysplastic Syndromes Treatment
Advanced treatment for bone marrow disorders by Dr. Rohit Pai
Introduction to Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders where bone marrow fails to produce enough healthy blood cells. These conditions can range from mild to severe and may develop into acute myeloid leukemia. With proper diagnosis and treatment, many patients can manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
