myeloid neoplasms

Myeloid neoplasms are a group of blood cancers that originate from abnormal growth of myeloid cells in the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. These cancers include conditions like leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms. They result from genetic mutations that cause abnormal cell production, leading to excessive, immature, or dysfunctional blood cells. Symptoms can include fatigue, infections, bleeding, and anemia. Diagnosis involves blood tests, bone marrow analysis, and genetic studies. Treatment varies but may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or stem cell transplants, aiming to control the disease and improve quality of life.
