How common is MDS (pre-leukemia)?
MDS is sometimes referred to as “pre-leukemia.” That’s because about one-third of people with MDS will eventually develop acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Your risk of developing MDS depends on many factors, including age. About 86 percent of people are over age 60 at diagnosis.
What is myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)?
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a condition that affects the production of blood cells in your bone marrow. MDS is sometimes referred to as “pre-leukemia.” That’s because about one-third of people with MDS will eventually develop acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Your risk of developing MDS depends on many factors, including age.
How is the MDS risk score calculated?
Having negative chromosomal changes in the marrow cells adds to your score, as does the presence of any low blood cell counts. The scores for each factor are added together to find your total score. Each score can be given a risk rating, from low risk to high risk. The risk rating indicates how likely it is that the MDS will become leukemia.
What is the rate of incidence for MDS?
MDS is sometimes referred to as “pre-leukemia.” That’s because about one-third of people with MDS will eventually develop acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Your risk of developing MDS depends on many factors, including age. About 86 percent of people are over age 60 at diagnosis. Only 6 percent are under 50 years old.
