Diagnosis of MCI was made according to the MDS criteria level II.
2
Methods: CC and FISH analyses were conducted for 216 primary MDS patients.
3
Clinical studies have demonstrated that decitabine has activity in patients with MDS.
4
Responses and outcomes were standardised according to the International Working Group MDS criteria.
5
A few recent case-control studies suggest an association between MDS and several occupations.
1
We report two THC2 patients misdiagnosed with myelodysplasia and treated with chemotherapy.
2
Cytopenia at day 30 was not significantly associated with later diagnosis of myelodysplasia.
3
Bone marrow biopsy done 3 months prior showed no significant myelodysplasia or lymphoid aggregates.
4
Results in myelodysplasia and aplastic anemia have been less encouraging.
5
However, there are very limited data on the development of hemophagocytosis or myelodysplasia in these patients.
1
Ten patients with preleukemia and life-threatening pancytopenia were treated with marrow transplantation.
2
Specimens were obtained from patients with preleukemia and associated antigen weakening, and from individuals with normal antigen values.
3
This experience also emphasizes the importance of performing chromosome studies before transplantation for pancytopenic states in order to identify cases of preleukemia.
1
A myelodysplasticsyndrome was noted 83 months from the start of therapy.
2
With these techniques, we studied a 61-year-old woman with a myelodysplasticsyndrome.
3
Case reports: A 76-year-old male with a known myelodysplasticsyndrome presented with pneumonia.
4
Additionally, two patients with primary mediastinal germ cell cancer developed a myelodysplasticsyndrome.
5
Sixteen children with myelodysplasticsyndrome as defined by the French-American-British co-operative group are presented.
1
Acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplasticsyndromes represented the most common disease indications.
2
Objective: Unbalanced chromosomal aberrations are common in myelodysplasticsyndromes and have prognostic implications.
3
All patients belonged to the more aggressive subtypes of myelodysplasticsyndromes.
4
The relationship between these cytopenias and myeloid neoplasms like myelodysplasticsyndromes is currently poorly defined.
5
Results: Many rare germline mutations have been identified that lead to acute leukemia and myelodysplasticsyndromes.
