Blasts are commonly present. RAEB-1 is defined by 2-4% blasts in the peripheral blood. RAEB-2 is defined by 5-19% blasts in the peirpheral blood. [imagebank.hematology.org]

Anderson presentation. The presentation to treatment interval was greater than 2 months in 1%, 3%, and 4% of the AML, RAEB-t, and RAEB patients, respectively. [bloodjournal.org]

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The severity of Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts depends on the degree to which blast cell levels are elevated, and if Auer rods are present. [dovemed.com]

(Type 2 RAEB), the prognosis is around 10 months survival Proper care should be taken to treat and control complications from MDS. [dovemed.com]

Patients with other abnormalities were considered as better prognosis if they did not have an antecedent hematologic disorder (AHD) and as worse prognosis if they had an AHD. [bloodjournal.org]

Both forms generally carry a difficult prognosis: published average survival times (now dated) range from 9-16 months. [verywellhealth.com]

(Etiology) Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts is caused by genetic mutations. [dovemed.com]

•Etiology: Possible chronic antigenic stimulation Abnormal Differentiation •Cell Cycle Maturation arrest. •Altered Proliferation. •Transcription Factors alterations •Impaired maturation •Cytopenias • Progression to leukemia 11. [slideshare.net]
