And they have these chromosomal variants that make them prone to evolving into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). With them, we can anticipate that they are going to progress to AML. And that's what we're trying to prevent. It's kind of like a biologic evolution and not a switch," ONS member Sara Tinsley-Vance, PhD, APRN, AOCN ® , nurse practitioner and quality-of-life researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS ® , TCTCN ™ , oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about long-term myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) considerations for oncology nurses.
