Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is considered to be a heterogeneous myeloid malignancy with a common origin in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment and is generally divided into lower- and higher-risk forms. While the treatment goals for lower-risk MDS are to decrease transfusion requirements and transformation into acute leukemia, the major aims for higher-risk MDS are to prolong survival and ultimately cure the patient.
