DOI: 10.1002/cncr.30532
Abstract: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are genetically, biologically, and clinically very heterogeneous. Although allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) remains the only intervention with a potential for cure, less than 5% of patients undergo transplantation because of age… read more here.
