Myelodysplastic syndromes: clinical practice guidelines in oncology.

Journal Article (Journal Article)

The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic disorders characterized by cytopenias, dysplasia in one or more myeloid lineages, and the potential for development of acute myeloid leukemia. These disorders primarily affect older adults.
