[Current treatment strategies for myelodysplastic syndromes].
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are myeloid clonal disorders presumably induced by genetic mutations in immature hematopoietic cells. According to the international prognostic scoring system (IPSS or IPSS-R), patients are classified into two groups: lower-risk MDS (LR-MDS) and higher-risk MDS (HR-MDS). A majority of LR-MDS patients manifest refractory cytopenias due to inefficient hematopoiesis...

Etiology of myelodysplastic syndromes The models for the development of sporadic MDS suggest the role of cumulative environmental exposures in genetically predisposed individuals. There is increasing evidence for a complex genetic predisposition to MDS involving naturally occurring DNA polymorphisms in genes that mediate DNA repair and metabolize environmental carcinogens.3 Large epidemiologic ...
متن کاملFirst-line therapeutic strategies in metastatic colorectal cancer.
The treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has changed dramatically from the 1980s, when only fluorouracil (5-FU) was available for treatment and the median survival was at best 12 months, to a time when mCRC is considered more of a chronic disease in which the median survival is now reported in excess of 2 years. This review traces the evolution of treatment in this setting, includin...
متن کاملMyelodysplastic syndromes.
The myelodysplastic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplastic and ineffective hematopoiesis and a varying risk of transformation to acute leukemia. Although the natural history of these syndromes is variable, several factors appear to be of prognostic importance, including the French-American-British classification, the karyotype, in vi...
متن کاملMyelodysplastic syndromes.
These two issues of the Seminars in Hematology will provide the physician the necessary knowledge to help make sense of this somewhat confusing array of diseases. The subdivisions of MDS reflect the precision of our techniques of dissection, with morphological and histochemical analyses forming the foundation to identify and subdivide MDS. Although steady refinement has occurred over the last h...
