MDS
Information
Myelodysplastic
syndromes are a group of diseases characterized
by the body's inability to make healthy
blood cells. Myelodysplasia is referred
to as pre-leukemia because myelodysplastic
syndromes begin in the bone marrow stem
cells and eventually progress to acute myelogenous
leukemia.
Causes:
Benzene is one of few known casues of MDS.
Prior to mid 80's, benzene was found in
varnishes, paint thinners, industrial solvents,
degreassers, and penetrating oils.
Currently, people who work around jet fuel,
petrochemicals, plastics, and rubber manufacturing
are often exposed to benzene.
Types
of MDS:
Refractory Anemia (RA)
Refractory
Anemia with Ringed Sideroblasts (RARS)
Refractory
Anemia with Excess Blasts (RAEB) Refractory
Anemia with Excess Blasts in Transformation
(RAEB-t)
Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML)
Drug
Treatments:
Common
chemotherapy drugs used to treat MDS include
idarubicin, mitoxantrone,
cytosine and daunorubicin.
