21. Myelodysplastic Syndromes
    myelodysplastic syndromes. The myelodysplastic syndromes have been classifiedinto 5 types according to the FrenchAmerican-British classification.  
    http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/cancer.gov/CDR0000062929.html
    
    Extractions: Previously Treated Myelodysplastic Syndrome The MDS are characterized by abnormal bone marrow and blood cell morphology. Megaloblastic erythroid hyperplasia with macrocytic anemia associated with normal B12 and folate levels is frequently observed. Circulating granulocytes are frequently severely reduced in number, often hypogranular, and display the acquired pseudo Pelger-Huet abnormality. Early, abnormal myeloid progenitors are identified in the marrow in varying percentages, depending on the type of myelodysplastic syndrome. Abnormally small megakaryocytes (micromegakaryocytes) are seen in the marrow and hypogranular or giant platelets appear in the blood. ] Anemia, bleeding, easy bruisability, and fatigue are common initial findings. Splenomegaly or hepatosplenomegaly may occasionally be present. Approximately half of the patients have a detectable cytogenetic abnormality, usually a deletion of all or part of chromosome 5 or 7, or trisomy 8. [ ] Although the bone marrow is usually hypercellular at diagnosis, 15% to 20% of patients present with a hypoplastic bone marrow. [

    Extractions: About PDQ 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.

    Extractions: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of diseases that affect the bone marrow and blood. About 12,000 new cases of MDS are diagnosed in the United States each year. Although children and young adults can have MDS, most MDS patients are over age 60. About twice as many men as women have the disease. The cause of MDS is not known, but some studies have linked it to exposure to pesticides, herbicides and the chemical benzene, which is found in unleaded gasoline. MDS is sometimes called myelodysplasia, preleukemia or smoldering leukemia. These last two terms reflect the fact that MDS can sometimes turn into leukemia, most often acute myelogenous leukemia Healthy bone marrow makes stem cells that grow into the three types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In people with MDS, instead of sending red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets into the blood stream, the marrow makes many immature blood cells called blasts. Not only do these blast cells not work normally as red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets, they can also collect in the bone marrow, damaging it even further.

Bone marrow cells called "blast" develop or mature into several different types of blood cells including red blood cells that carry oxygen and other materials to all tissues of the body; white blood cells that fight infection; and platelets that make the blood clot. If cells in the bone marrow are injured or abnormal, they may behave abnormally. In myelodysplastic syndromes, the abnormality causes the bone marrow cells or blasts to develop into defective red cells, white cells and platelets. In acute myeloid leukemia, which is the more quickly advancing form of the disease, cells stop maturing altogether.

Myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia may arise without any known cause or may be due to prior treatment with drugs or radiation for other diseases. Myelodysplastic syndromes occur most often in older people, but they also occur in children and young people. The name myelodysplastic syndromes is based on how the bone marrow cells and blood cells appear under a microscope. There are five types of myelodysplastic syndromes:

    Extractions: Treatment and Prognosis The myelodysplastic syndromes are acquired clonal disorders of myeloid pluripotent stem cells characterised by morphological abnormalities in the maturing cells of the granulocyte, erythroid and megakaryocyte lineages. Haemopoiesis is ineffective, giving rise to cytopenias. By convention they are separated from the acute myeloid leukaemias on the basis of the percentage of blasts present in the blood and bone marrow. Red cells : May show macrocytosis, anisopoikilocytosis and anisochromasia and basophilic stippling, especially in Sideroblastic Anaemia. Nucleated RBC may be present. Neutrophils : May show hypogranular cytoplasm, and abnormal nuclear segmentation; bilobed (spectacle) pseudo-Pelger-Huet nuclei, or round mononuclear nuclei, recognisable as mature by the coarse clumping of the chromatin. Gross hypersegmentation is occasionally present.

    Extractions: Cancer Reference Information ... Cancer Drug Guide What Is Myelodysplastic Syndrome? Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of conditions caused by abnormal blood-forming cells of the bone marrow. In MDS the bone marrow cannot produce blood cells effectively, and many of the blood cells formed are defective. These abnormal blood cells are usually destroyed before they leave the bone marrow or shortly after entering the bloodstream. As a result, patients have shortages of blood cells, which are reflected in their low blood counts. Although MDS have not been considered cancer in the past, most hematologists (specialists in diseases of the blood) now think it is a form of cancer. The major reason is that it is considered a clonal disease with a single population of abnormal cells. That means that all the cells are exactly alikejust like identical twins. This is often seen in cancer where all the cells have started from an original abnormal cell. A second reason is that in about 30% of MDS cases, the abnormal bone marrow cells eventually progress into

What is the importance of follow up? What is the Bone Marrow? The bone marrow is a spongy tissue, which is found mainly in the large bones in the body. The bone marrow is responsible for production of most of the blood's formed elements, which include the red blood cells (carriers of oxygen to all tissues of the body), white blood cells (fighters of infection), and platelets (clotters of blood). What are Myelodysplastic Syndromes? These are a rare group of diseases also known as a preleukaemia or smouldering leukaemia , and they are basically diseases of the bone marrow. In these diseases, the bone marrow fails to function normally and an inadequate number of blood cells which are normal, are produced.
