摘要: Recent advances in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes have come from use hypomethylating agents decitabine and azacitidine as well immunomodulatory drug lenalidomide. Their clinical benefit has been demonstrated by randomized phase III trials, mostly high-risk del(5q) syndromes, respectively. Neither drug, however, appears to eradicate stem cells, thus they currently do not represent curative options. Here, we review data both translational research on those drugs identify their molecular cellular mechanisms action delineate paths for improved allocation further therapeutic syndromes.
