Mds World Awareness Day
MDS World Awareness Day, October 25th, brings attention to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). When the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow become abnormal, this rare group of blood cancers arises..
Bone marrow cells in certain bones contain blood-forming cells. Blood stem cells make up some of these blood-forming cells. These cells are necessary for the production of new blood cells. Red cells, white cells, and platelets are among the three types of blood cells found in the United States. MDS occurs when there is a disruption in the production of new blood cells.. This often results in a red blood cell shortage, which is also known as anemia. MDS progresses into a rapidly growing tumor of bone marrow cells in some patients. This disorder is known as acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
In the United States, up to 20,000 new cases of MDS are recorded each year. Thousands of new cases of MDS are reported each year. According to MDS, 170,000 people in the United States are currently living with MDS. Around the world, there are around 87,000 new cases of MDS each year.
MDS symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Unusual paleness
- Unusual bruises or bleedings are common in bruising or bleeding
- Skin red spots under the skin
- Frequent infections
There is no known reason for MDS in the majority of cases. MDS may be triggered by exposure to cancer treatments or hazardous chemicals in some instances. MDS cannot be treated There is no such thing as a cure. However, there are some treatment options that may help manage the symptoms, slow the progression, and minimize complications. Blood transfusions are a common treatment option. Medications are also used to increase the number of blood cells in the body and to stimulate blood cells to mature. A bone marrow transplant is also a possibility for some people..
