IPSS-R classifies cytogenetic abnormalities into five prognostic groups for survival. Monosomal karyotype (MK) is not a subgroup of IPSS-R. Additional prognostic information from MK in poor and very poor karyotype has been recently shown. The aim of our study was to determine the prognostic value of IPSS-R and MK for response and survival in...
