Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are myeloid neoplasms characterized by abnormal proliferation and apoptosis of hematopoietic cells that are believed to be caused by abnormalities in immature hematopoietic cells [1, 2]. The concept of MDS was first described in the French-American-British (FAB) classification in 1982 [3], and currently, MDS is classified using the 2001 [4] and 2008 [5] WHO classifications, as well as the 2017 revised WHO classification [6]. However, these are also used in combination with the FAB classification. MDS is characterized by unilineage or multilineage cytopenia, morphological dysplasia, ineffective hematopoiesis, and risk for transformation to acute leukemia, and is considered to be not a single disease but rather a group of syndromes comprising multiple diseases. Therefore, classification into presently defined subtypes alone is insufficient for making clinical decisions. More than half of patients with MDS have cytogenetic abnormalities, and genetic abnormalities in undifferentiated hematopoietic cells are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of MDS. More and more new genetic abnormalities undetectable by cytogenetic testing have been identified and it is believed that the major ones are almost all known by this point [7], but further investigation of their significance is warranted. MDS is typically diagnosed using the WHO classification (2017) on the basis of cytopenia, percentages of blasts in peripheral blood and bone marrow, hematopoietic cell dysplasia, and cytogenetic abnormalities. In some cases, diagnosis using the FAB classification is also referenced. The concept of MDS shares boundaries with various other hematologic diseases, and their diagnosis, including clinical course observation and exclusion of other diseases, continues to rely heavily on morphological assessments even today [1, 2]. After a definitive diagnosis is reached, a prognosis is predicted on the basis of the hematological findings, bone marrow findings, and cytogenetic abnormalities used to make the diagnosis, and a treatment plan is formulated. The prognosis is primarily predicted by events related to cytopenia (e.g., infection and hemorrhage) and leukemic transformation, but patient characteristics such as concomitant diseases also have a large impact on prognosis due to the high prevalence of MDS in elderly adults. At present, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative therapy, but due to factors such as the advanced age of the patient population, only some patients can benefit from allogeneic transplantation. Recently, however, new drugs for MDS have been developed and other new advances in treatment have been made.
