Abstract

We recommend that standard hematologic values be used to define cytopenias in MDS and believe a modification of the WHO definition of cytopenias as 1 of the criteria (in addition to definitive morphologic and/or cytogenetic findings) to diagnose MDS would be valuable and most accurate.

Medical Research, Diagnosis & Treatment contains studies of existing and developing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as specific classes of clinical intervention. Resources in this category emphasize the difference between normal and disease states, with the ultimate goal of more effective diagnosis and intervention. Specific areas of interest include pathology and histochemical analysis of tissue, clinical chemistry and biochemical analysis of medical samples, diagnostic imaging, radiology and radiation, surgical research, anesthesiology and anesthesia, transplantation, artificial tissues, and medical implants. Resources focused on the disease, diagnosis, and treatment of specific organs or physiological systems are excluded and are covered in the Medical Research: Organs & Systems category.
Oncogenesis & Cancer Research covers research into all aspects of tumorigenesis in vitro as well as the occurrence and pathogenesis of cancer. Emphasis is placed on molecular regulation of cell growth, oncogene expression/function in normal and transformed cells, mechanisms of anti-cancer drug action, and experimental therapeutics. Excluded from this category are resources dealing with the treatment of cancer in humans. Resources concerned with cell growth and differentiation without specific application to mechanisms of oncogenesis are excluded; this material is covered in the Cell & Developmental Biology category.
