Answer to Question 1

Answer: Myelodysplastic syndromes eventually can progress into acute leukemia. Acute leukemia as defined by the WHO is classified with >20 blasts in the bone marrow. The MDS family is classified as <20 blasts proliferating in the marrow.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The IPSS for MDS assigns a score based on the progression of the disease. The higher the number of immature cells present, the worse the prognosis and the lower the survival rate.
