Article Synopsis
- A study reviewed 2,267 bone marrows from 2002 to 2005, identifying 322 cases (14%) that met the criteria for inclusion in their research.
- Among these, 73 patients (22.6%) were confirmed to have Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), and 32 (9.9%) had suspected MDS.
- The findings indicate that MDS is more common in older patients, particularly those over 65, and highlights age and specific blood tests as predictive factors, suggesting prevalence in elderly anemic individuals may be higher than previously thought.
Introduction: Although much is known about the efficacy, toxicity, and direct costs of treatment for follicular lymphoma (FL), there is no data assessing the impact of this diagnosis on the work productivity of affected individuals.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey study of consecutive patients attending a malignant haematology clinic at a large multi-disciplinary cancer centre. Patients with a diagnosis of FL or other indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma completed questionnaires assessing health status, work productivity, and activity impairment.
