This Disorders Anemia, Infections, Bleeding problems and fatigue may accompany other symptoms.
MPN Although the research team was unable to assess exactly why metformin protected against the development, The researchers stress that more research will be conducted to better understand why.
The researchers aim to identify similar trends with myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia in population-level data for future study., The study said.
