Myelodysplastic Syndrome: Treatment Options at Top Ichilov Medical Center
Treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome involves a complex of therapeutic procedures and methods, with dosages and duration of hospitalization depending on the severity of the disease and the patient's condition.
- hemotransfusion therapy. The patient is indicated for blood transfusions and its components; healthy donor blood helps activate immune defense mechanisms and meets the body's needs;
- chemotherapy. The introduction of multi-component chemical agents has a destructive effect on cancer cells;
- stem cell transplantation. This is a new and quite effective method. Stem cells are extracted from the patient's venous blood, and after special processing, they are reintroduced into the patient's bloodstream. The stem cells reach the hematopoietic organs and stimulate the production of normal, healthy blood;
- bone marrow transplantation. A modern, very effective method of treating blood cancer. The bone marrow donor is usually a close blood relative of the patient. If there is no related donor, material is selected from the transplant bank for the patient. After compatibility testing, the bone marrow is introduced to the patient, restoring the damaged hematopoietic system.

Myelodysplastic syndrome is one of the malignant lesions of the hematopoietic system. The disease is characterized by the production of altered erythrocytes, lymphocytes, and platelets, changes at the DNA level, the presence of cytopenia in peripheral blood, and the quantity and quality of cells being insufficient for normal life functions of the body. The disease can transform into acute leukemia.
The symptoms of the disease are similar to other oncological blood diseases, often observed are: shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, rapid fatigue, prolonged bleeding even from minor wounds, minor skin impacts leaving bruises, weight loss, loss of appetite, etc. The symptoms do not provide a clear picture, so patients often undergo prolonged treatment for other diseases before suspicion of cancer arises.
The causes of the disease are not fully understood, but the following factors can provoke it: contact with toxic and carcinogenic substances, frequent ionizing radiation (which may include radiotherapy), smoking, genetic predisposition, a history of malignant disease, etc.
