benzene and Myelodysplastic Syndromes

benzene has been researched along with Myelodysplastic Syndromes in 43 studies

Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.
