Study links smoking to more genetic mutations in blood cancer patients, urging them to quit.
Recent research presented at the ASH Annual Meeting links smoking to a higher number of genetic mutations associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a type of blood cancer.
The study of nearly 2,000 patients found that smokers had more mutations in critical genes, which correlated with a higher chance of disease progression and poorer survival rates.
Researchers recommend that MDS patients quit smoking to slow disease advancement.
