Study Notes

Myelodysplastic Neoplasm (MDS)

MDS is classified as a group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms.
Characterized by cytopenias (reduction in blood cell types) and morphologic dysplasia (abnormal cell formation).
Results in progressively ineffective hematopoiesis, meaning the body struggles to produce adequate and healthy blood cells.
Associated with an increased risk of developing acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

Cytopenia Definitions

Cytopenia definitions are standardized to ensure consistency across related conditions such as Clonal Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance (CCUS), MDS, and MDS/MPN (Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms).
The definitions of cytopenias encompass anemia (Hb), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), and leukopenia (low white blood cells), critical for diagnosing and managing these disorders.
