A member asked:
Hello doctor my father was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes can he be treated by bone marrow transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: To answer your question, yes, bone marrow transplant is a treatment option for MDS but is not usually the immediate choice. MDS is a very broad spectrum of diseases and each case is unique, thus there are many considerations before deciding on the best therapy approach. Sorry to hear about your father. Below is a link for more information about treatments for MDS. http://bit.ly/2iADlYQ
