Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). 1  Is a diagnosis of cancer. 2  Is a group of diseases of the blood and bone marrow, with varying degrees of severity, treatment needs and life expectancy. 3  May be primary (de novo) or treatment-related. 4  Primary MDS has no obvious cause.
In a patient with a myelodysplastic syndrome, the blood stem cells (immature cells) do not become mature red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets in the bone marrow. These immature blood cells, called blasts, do not work the way they should and either die in the bone marrow or soon after they go into the blood.tem cells (immature blood cells) are removed from the blood or bone marrow of a donor and are frozen for storage. After the chemotherapy is completed, the stored stem cells are thawed and given back to the patient through an infusion.
