S01E08 Myelodysplastic Syndromes with Beth Payne by Bolus: education delivered stat

Beth Payne is a Senior Clinical Researcher at the UCL Cancer Institute, where she is Research Group leader in bone marrow failure and myelodysplastic syndromes. Beth is also a Leukaemia Consultant at UCLH. The title, Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), covers a diverse group of diseases, with far more genetic mutations than many Haematological disorders. Ward staff are familiar with treating patients with MDS when it transforms to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), so we asked Beth to give us an overview of the disease, discussing what is happening in the bone marrow prior to it's potential development into AML.
