Two DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, azacitidine and decitabine, are currently approved for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Choosing between these drugs is an important practical issue. In this retrospective study, patients receiving AZA-7d (azacitidine 75 mg/m2 subcutaneously × 7 days, n = 75) or DEC-5d (decitabine 20 mg/m2 intravenously × 5 days, n = 74) were compared. The rates...

Azacitidine has shown unprecedented survival advantage in these patients but its treatment schedule involves daily hospital administrations for 7 days every 4 weeks. Due to patient and staffing constraints, we have treated 50 patients with a 5-day dose-intensified (500 mg/m2 total...
