Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a clonal disorder that affects hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), primarily occurring in the elderly population. Lower-risk MDS is characterized by a decrease in blood cells, whereas higher-risk MDS is associated with an increased risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Currently, the treatment of MDS is still unsatisfactory, although demethylating agents, azacitidine (AZA), and decitabine (Dec) have been successfully used to treat MDS and improve survival rates. However, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative treatment for MDS patients, effectively increasing patient survival and quality of life. Nevertheless, treatment-related toxicity, graft-versus-host disease, infectious complications, and relapse are still major post-transplant issues. In this review, through a retrospective analysis of past and present HSCT for the treatment of MDS, we provide insights for the future.
期刊介绍:
Cell Transplantation, The Regenerative Medicine Journal is an open access, peer reviewed journal that is published 12 times annually. Cell Transplantation is a multi-disciplinary forum for publication of articles on cell transplantation and its applications to human diseases. Articles focus on a myriad of topics including the physiological, medical, pre-clinical, tissue engineering, stem cell, and device-oriented aspects of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and endothelial systems, as well as genetically engineered cells. Cell Transplantation also reports on relevant technological advances, clinical studies, and regulatory considerations related to the implantation of cells into the body in order to provide complete coverage of the field.
