Myelodysplasia

Myelodysplasia (myelodysplastic syndrome, usually shortened to MDS) is a rare blood disorder, and can be deadly. It is associated with dysfunctional bone marrow, resulting in a failure of production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant are typically used to treat it. Generally, it kills within about six months.
