MDS experts, Dr Rafael Bejar and Dr Casey O’Connell, discuss how acute myeloid leukemia (AML) relates to MDS. About 30 percent of people with MDS develop a life-threatening blood cancer called AML.

To help confirm a diagnosis of AML, a bone marrow biopsy is performed to capture all the changes (including genetic) that led to the condition.
