STAGES OF MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES

MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES - HOME
STAGES OF DISEASE | TREATMENT OPTIONS

There is no staging for the myelodysplastic syndromes. Treatment depends on whether or not the disease developed following other treatments, or whether the patient has been treated for the myelodysplastic syndrome.

Myelodysplastic syndromes are grouped as follows:

  • De novo myelodysplastic syndromes
    De novo myelodysplastic syndromes develop without any known cause. The patient has not received radiation therapy or chemotherapy for other diseases.
  • Secondary myelodysplastic syndromes
    Secondary myelodysplastic syndromes develop following treatment with radiation therapy or chemotherapy for other diseases.
  • Previously treated myelodysplastic syndromes
    Previously treated myelodysplastic syndrome means the disease has been treated but has gotten worse.
