MDS Foundation, Inc.
Most people have never heard of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). It is a rare, often undetected blood cancer characterized by abnormalities in blood-forming cells in the bone marrow. Left untreated, MDS can progress to Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Building critical awareness of MDS is a key goal of the MDS Foundation. For 29 years, the MDS Foundation has been supporting and educating patients, their communities, and healthcare providers, and contributing to innovative research in the fields of MDS and its related continuum of diseases to better diagnose, control and ultimately cure these diseases.
