ICT is effective in decreasing iron overload and consequently in limiting its detrimental effects on several organs, such as the heart, liver, and endocrine glands. Besides this effect, ICT also proved to be effective in improving peripheral cytopenia in a significant number of MDS patients, thus further increasing the clinical interest of this therapeutic tool. In the first part of the review, we will analyze the toxic effect of iron overload and its mechanism. Subsequently, we will revise the clinical role of ICT in various subsets of MDS patients (low, intermediate, and high risk MDS, patients who are candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplantation).Keywords: iron overload, myelodysplastic syndrome, iron chelation therapy, hepcidinParisi SFinelli CDove Medical Pressarticleiron overloadmyelodysplastic syndromeiron chelation therapyhepcidinDiseases of the blood and blood-forming organsRC633-647.5ENJournal of Blood Medicine, Vol Volume 12, Pp 1019-1030 (2021)
