Hi Treatment for MDS depends on risk category. MDS is very heterogenous disease and would require tailor made therapy for individuals. Several factors like HB, WBC COUNT , Platelet count, blast percentage and genetic studies are involved in the decision making. So please revert back with all clinical and treatment details for definitive therapy plan. Please make OPD appointment for detailed discussion Warm regards and best wishes Dr Rakesh Pinninti
