Novel Approaches to the Management of Myelodysplastic Syndromes: The Roles of Artificial Intelligence and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers.

Abstract

Objectives: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, genomic instability, and a high risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia. Oxidative stress (OS) has emerged as a central factor in MDS pathophysiology, contributing to DNA damage, altered cellular signaling, and disease progression. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer a transformative approach for integrating multidimensional datasets including oxidative stress markers, hematologic parameters, and molecular profiles to enhance diagnosis, prognostication, and therapeutic monitoring in MDS. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus, using the keywords "OS biomarkers," "AI," and "MDS''. Results: Modified redox biomarkers can be correlated with oxidative imbalance and disease progression. ML models such as neural networks, decision trees, and support vector machines effectively capture complex relationships among redox biomarkers, enhancing risk stratification and prediction of treatment response. AI-driven proteomic analyses further revealed OS-related protein signatures linked to MDS pathophysiology. Overall, AI and ML enable the transformation of multidimensional OS data into clinically actionable tools for personalized management in MDS. Conclusions: Integrating biomarker research with AI-based analytics holds promise for advancing personalized diagnostics, prognostication, and therapeutic strategies in MDS, paving the way toward precision medicine.
