Its goal was to be more specific than the FAB in describing subtypes and in predicting what will happen to patients. This classification system was then revised in 2008. In 1999, the World Health Organization, or WHO, published a new classification system. The score tells how quickly an MDS case is likely to progress and helps predict what may happen with the patient's MDS in the future. This system turns patient data into a score. In 1997, the International Prognostic Scoring System or IPSS was launched. It is based on how blood and bone marrow cells look. This system is called the French-American-British or FAB system. In 1976, scientists came out with the first system for classifying MDS into subtypes. At that time, there was no standard way to split MDS into subtypes. Doctors and scientists used other names for what we now call MDS, or Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Note: Just 1% to 2% of MDS patients have this subtypeīefore 1976, the term "MDS" didn't exist. Unusual features, such as scarring ( fibrosis) of the bone marrow Low count for wither platelets or white blood cells Note: More common in women age 65 and older who have mild to moderate degrees of anemia, low white blood cell counts, and normal to high platelet counts life expectancy of more than five years from time of diagnosisīone marrow is often empty of cells ( hypocellular) The same as refractory anemia, plus normal or high platelet countĭeletion of chromosome 5q, with no other chromosome abnormality RAEB-2 (Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts 2) RAEB-1 (Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts) Note: In patients with more than 15% ringed sideroblasts, the subtype is called RCMD_RS Less than 5% blasts, or less than 15% ringed sideroblasts Low white blood cell count (neutropenia) or low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) RCMD (Refractory Cytopenia with Multilineage Dysplasia) In RARS, more than 15 percent red blood cells that contain ring-shaped iron deposits (ring sideroblasts) RARS (Refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts, pronounced SID-uh-ruh-blasts) Red cell dysplasia (cells with an abnormal size, shape, or look) Less than 5 percent young blood cells ( blasts) – applies to RA, RN and RT RT (Refractory Thrombocytopenia) – Low platelet count RN (Refractory Neutropenia) – Low white cell count RA (Refractory Anemia) – Low red blood cell count that can’t be treated with iron or vitamins RCUD ( Refractory Cytopenia with Unilineage Dysplasia)Ĭonsidered the mildest category.
