Many people are familiar with cancers such as MDS and leukemia but few understand what causes these illness or how they are treated. It is important to understand the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) before asking further questions on the subject.
Composed of a number of hematological conditions, MDS result when the body is lacking in a certain number of red and white blood cells. Issues with the bone marrow stem cell cause an abnormal blood cell production in the bloodstream which often leads to MDS. This form of cancer has been known as pre-leukemia and can develop into leukemia or cancer of the blood.
The Causes of MDS
A patient suffering from MDS experiences abnormal production and reproduction of blood cells. Simply put, this means that the blood reveals itself by producing adverse defects in its blood-forming cells. If this problem with the blood cells persists over time, more often it worsens, resulting in the gradual deterioration of the bone marrow.
Genetic factor are involved, specifically in children with MDS, in the development of the disease. Environmental factors are also involved in causing otherwise healthy cells to develop abnormalities. Read more...

Minimally invasive lung cancer surgery can be used to remove cancerous tissue without the need to open the patient’s chest. A traditional approach to performing a lobectomy required the surgeon to make a long incision into the chest. Then, the chest is opened and the ribs are either spread apart or removed in order to give the surgical team a better view of the affected lobe. The operation usually involves a significant level of postoperative pain as well as a longer recovery time.
Chemotherapy drugs are often administered to the patient after the procedure. This is done to help kill any diseased cells that may have spread to other sites. In most cases, these drugs must either be delayed or the dosage must be reduced until the patient has recovered.
In this article, we’ll describe how a lobectomy can be performed without the high-impact trauma associated with conventional thoracotomy. We’ll also explain the effect this has on chemotherapy outcomes.
