UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009190	Myelodysplastic Syndromes	Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.

D012074	Remission Induction	Therapeutic act or process that initiates a response to a complete or partial remission level.	Induction of Remission,Induction, Remission,Inductions, Remission,Remission Inductions
D003561	Cytarabine	A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

D004921	Erythropoietin	Glycoprotein hormone, secreted chiefly by the KIDNEY in the adult and the LIVER in the FETUS, that acts on erythroid stem cells of the BONE MARROW to stimulate proliferation and differentiation.

D013866	Thioguanine	An antineoplastic compound which also has antimetabolite action. The drug is used in the therapy of acute leukemia.	6-Thioguanine,2-Amino-6-Purinethiol,Lanvis,Tabloid,Thioguanin-GSK,Thioguanine Anhydrous,Thioguanine Hemihydrate,Thioguanine Monosodium Salt,Thioguanine Tabloid,Tioguanina Wellcome,Tioguanine,2 Amino 6 Purinethiol,6 Thioguanine,Anhydrous, Thioguanine,Thioguanin GSK,ThioguaninGSK
D016178	Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor	An acidic glycoprotein of MW 23 kDa with internal disulfide bonds. The protein is produced in response to a number of inflammatory mediators by mesenchymal cells present in the hemopoietic environment and at peripheral sites of inflammation. GM-CSF is able to stimulate the production of neutrophilic granulocytes, macrophages, and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies from bone marrow cells and can stimulate the formation of eosinophil colonies from fetal liver progenitor cells. GM-CSF can also stimulate some functional activities in mature granulocytes and macrophages.
