Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignancy among men, primarily originating from the prostate epithelium. It ranks first in global cancer incidence and second in mortality rates, with a rising trend in China. PCa's subtle initial symptoms, such as urinary issues, necessitate diagnostic measures like digital rectal examination, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, and tissue biopsy.

Objective: This study was to investigate the influence of morbidly hematopoietic characteristics on the prognosis of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Methods: A total of 69 cases of MDS were analyzed retrospectively on ralatienship between sex, age, MDS types, WBC count, hemoglobin (Hb) level, platelet (Plt) count at diagnosis, morbidly cytologic features of bone marrow and survival time of MDS patients.
Results: The median survival time of 69 cases of MDS was 29.
