Myelodysplastic Syndrome: Treatment Options at Top Ihilov Medical Center
The 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 drugs 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, 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 donor of the bone marrow is usually a close blood relative of the patient. If there is no related donor, material is selected from the transplantation bank for the patient. After tests for full compatibility, the bone marrow is introduced into the patient and restores 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 the normal functioning of the body. The disease can transform into acute leukemia.
The symptoms of the disease are similar to those of other oncological blood diseases, often observed are: shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, rapid fatigue, even minor bleeding from small wounds that does not stop for a long time, slight impact on the skin leaves a bruise, 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.
