Abstract
Purpose of the review: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are myeloid neoplasms characterized by high molecular and genomic heterogeneity. Accordingly, efforts in risk assessment and therapeutic intervention mostly target unique profiles that individualize specific MDS subtypes. In this review, we explored the contributions of population based studies accounting for MDS as a group.
Recent findings: Large population based studies have been critical to define important details of our current knowledge of the disease. We summarized the most important population research contributions in MDS, focusing on its epidemiology, population risk factors, and relevant clinical associations. We discuss how these population data can provide vital insights to inform prevention measures, testing strategies, and treatment decisions. Population studies play an important role in guiding clinical and research efforts in MDS. Despite its complex molecular and genomic landscape, population data is integral to define the burden of disease, identify risk factors and clinical associations, and can help elucidate pathogenic mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
his journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hematologic malignancy.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and T-cell and other lymphoproliferative malignancies. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
