“…In particular, our previous report demonstrated that the high-risk group of feline MDS classified into refractory anemia (RA) with excess of blasts (RAEB), RAEB in transformation (RAEB in T), and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL) based on the French-American-British (FAB) classification has a higher probability of transition to acute leukemia and a poorer prognosis than the low-risk groups, including the RA group, suggesting that RAEB is refractory to the therapies used so far [8,11,23,25]. In some previous reports, cats with MDS were treated with blood transfusion, antibiotics, prednisolone, cyclosporine, and erythropoietin [8,9,25,26]. These treatments were supportive therapies, since a detailed case report using chemotherapy has not been reported due to the small number of spontaneous cases of feline MDS.…”
