Full Description
In this issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, guest editor Dr. Alexa J. Siddon brings her considerable expertise to the topic of Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Top experts in the field discuss the various aspects of rare myelodysplastic syndromes and its treatments, detection, and characteristics. Topics include molecular changes in myelodysplastic syndromes; MDS with mutated SF3B1; myeloid neoplasms with mutated TP53; mimics of myelodysplastic syndromes; myeloid neoplasms with germline predisposition; and more.
Contains 12 practice-oriented topics including premalignant clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP and CCUS); morphologic characteristics of MDS; acute leukemia arising from MDS; treatment considerations of MDS for pathologists; and more.
Provides in-depth clinical reviews on myelodysplastic syndromes, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
