Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of cancers in which immature blood cells in the bone marrow do not mature or become healthy blood cells. The different types of myelodysplastic syndromes are diagnosed based on certain changes in the blood cells and bone marrow.
Myelodysplastic syndromes can cause serious conditions such as anemia, frequent infections and bleeding that won't stop. Some people with MDS may develop acute myeloid leukemia.
