5q deletion or 5q-
This is just an FYI for those 5q- patients or caretakers that have enough medical knowledge to find a New England Journal of Medicine article useful. There are 2 articles on 5q- MDS in the Sept 8 issue of this journal. I have only read the abstracts as I don't have computer access to full article and don't know how to do the links thing. One talks about how some bad stem cells develop resistance to Revlimid and the other article is a case study of an elderly lady with anemia and MDS.
