What is Mds World Awareness Day?
MDS World Awareness Day, October 25th, brings attention to myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). When the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow become abnormal, a rare group of blood cancers arises.
Bone marrow cells are present in certain bones. Blood stem cells account for some of these blood-forming cells. These cells are required for the production of new blood cells. Red cells, white cells, and platelets are among the three types of blood cells that can be found in red cells, white cells, and platelets. MDS occurs when there is a disruption in the production of new blood cells. Anemia is often associated with a red blood cell shortage, which is often characterized as anemia. MDS progresses into a rapidly growing bone marrow cell tumor in some patients. AML) is a form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
In the United States, up to 20,000 new cases of MDS are reported each year. According to reports, 170,000 people in the United States are currently living with MDS. Around 87,000 new cases of MDS each year are recorded around the world.
