Myelodysplastic syndromes represent a significant area of concern in oncology, and recent advances in this field have been nothing short of groundbreaking. As we continue to strive for improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life, this Research Topic seeks to showcase the latest developments and innovations in the realm of MDS.MDS encompasses a group of hematologic disorders characterized by dysregulated blood cell production leading to bone marrow dysfunction. It is often a precursor to acute myeloid leukemia and presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in understanding the molecular and clinical aspects of MDS. These developments have reshaped the landscape of MDS management, promising better prognosis, tailored therapies and improved patient care.In recent years, researchers have made substantial strides in unraveling the genetic underpinnings of MDS, leading to more precise diagnostics and targeted therapies. Epigenetic modifiers, immunomodulatory agents, and novel combination therapies have emerged as promising strategies in MDS treatment. Additionally, advances in supportive care have significantly improved the overall well-being of MDS patients.The field of MDS is on the cusp of even more significant breakthroughs. Ongoing clinical trials are exploring innovative therapies, including gene editing techniques, immunotherapies, and personalized medicine approaches. Emerging prognostic models and risk stratification tools are poised to refine treatment decision-making. Collaboration between clinicians and researchers is crucial to translating these advancements into tangible benefits for patients.As we look to the future, this Research Topic aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of MDS research and treatment, while shedding light on the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. By sharing your insights, original research, reviews and case studies, you can contribute to shaping the trajectory of MDS care. Manuscripts should align with the theme of “MDS: new clinical developments” and can cover a broad spectrum of topics within the field. Please note: manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics, computational analysis, or predictions of public databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent clinical or patient cohort, or biological validation in vitro or in vivo, which are not based on public databases) are not suitable for publication in this journal.
