The management of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is complicated by the generally advanced age of the patients. The major clinical problems are morbidities caused by cytopenias and the potential for MDS to progress to acute myeloid leukemia. There are limited treatment options following disease progression, particularly for patients with disease refractory to hypomethylating agents. As new data emerge, it is important for clinicians to be aware of all the treatment options available so they can devise individualized therapeutic strategies and improve clinical outcomes.
