Due to the absence of a typical clinical picture of MDS, in order to exclude other diseases accompanied by cytopenia, not only routine hematological examination methods are necessary, but also a mandatory cytogenetic examination of the bone marrow. Treatment of patients with MDS should be individualized, taking into account risk group stratification, age and physical status.

The diagnosis of MDS is always made with caution by excluding other diseases accompanied by cytopenia. To make a diagnosis, not only routine hematological examination methods are necessary, but also a mandatory cytogenetic study of the bone marrow. The management of patients with MDS is still an unresolved problem. The approach to the treatment of MDS should be individualized and based on the patient's risk group, age, and somatic status.
