Editorial Review

Product Description
Myelodysplastic syndromes are to the bone marrow what pneumoniais to the lungs; the response of an organ to a variety of etiologicinsults like aging, toxic exposure, infections and auto-immunity.Among infectious causes alone, pneumonia could be the result of avariety of possible pathogens including bacterial, viral, tuberculousor fungal agents. Similarly, MDS cannot be treated as a singledisease. Attempts to harness the inherent complexity of MDS bydevising `classifications' which group the various syndromes as onedisease is as misguided as saying that a pneumonia is not infectiousbecause it did not respond to antibiotics. Progress in the field willoccur faster when we re-analyze this premise. Therefore, until aclearer picture of the disease emerges it is best to treat each of theMDS syndromes as a separate entity. Having no classification is betterthan a misleading one.

Cancer research has been notable for its periodic cycles of promiseand hope, followed by defeat and disappointments. It is not that thereis no solution, but that the problem has not been identifiedprecisely. This book is our attempt to define the most crucialquestions related to MDS that need to be addressed immediately throughlogic, analysis and rigorous experimentation. If the emerging problemsappear daunting, then instead of being overwhelmed by them, we shouldfollow the advice of the great 20th century thinker Antonio Gramsci,`pessimism of the intellect must be faced with the optimism of will'. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars The Copyright date on this Book is November 2002

Medical treatment of Myelodysplplastic Syndromes is an area undergoing rapid change, so a gap of eight years is significant.

Otherwise I would give this book five stars. ICON publishes similar books for virtually any disease you can think of, so a lot of the contents are boilerplate, but it's intelligent boilerplate basically dealing with research techniques and sources. The core of the book consists of a discussion of the specific disease and research sources applicable to that disease.

All in all, an excellent book and certainly worth the price. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

 Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are the most common hematological malignancies involving mostly the elderly population. The major morbidity relates to patients’ symptomatic cytopenias.MDS was previously named as  “preleukemia “ or “ smoldering leukemia” as the lack of terminal cells in MDS and because about 25% of all cases progresses into acute myeloid leukemia.

According to various reports the annual incidence of MDS ranges widely from 2-12 per 100.000, increasing to 30-50 cases per 100.000 among persons aged  70  or older. It is believed that the true incidence of MDS have been underestimated however it seems to be comparable to that for multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.  


In the past decade much progress had been made; we know more on the disease pathology, there is more emphasis on the care and more targeted therapy had been invested.


Athors provide updated knowledge in this book on all clinically important aspects of the disease. Hot topics of our days are discussed in chapters by outstanding and well known scientists from all over the world. We would offer this product both for medical students and postgraduates as well as for all who are interested in this very exciting and fast progressing field of hematology.


With this work authors should call attention on the disease for decision makers in healt care systems as well.

Product Description
The purpose of the "International Symposium on Myelodysplastic Syndromes - Tokyo 1994" was to discuss the latest advances in myelodysplastic syndromes ranging from such scientific aspects as classification, epidemiology, immunology, cytogenetics, cell biology and molecular biology, to various modes of treatment involving bone marrow transplantation, attenuated chemotherapy and application of hematopoietic growth factors.

The two-day program consisted of invited lectures, selected oral presentations and posters. Lectures by distinguished contributors from abroad provided participants with comprehensive reviews. In addition to a total of 37 oral presentations, 18 posters were presented. A considerable amount of data thus presented by the Japanese investigators in this symposium will prove valuable for hematologists not only in Japan, but also in many other countries worldwide.
