The objective of this article was to compare the efficiency of azacitidine (AZA) and decitabine (DAC) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are not suitable for high-dose chemotherapy.
MDS and AML patients who were treated with hypomethylating agents (HMAs) between January 2005 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively.
No statistically significant difference was found between the patients who received AZA or DAC in AML patients. In MDS group, the rate of patients who achieved remission was statistically significantly higher in patients who received DAC (p = 0.032).
The advantage in terms of response for MDS and no survival difference between AZA and DAC for AML and MDS patients will be an important contribution to the literature.
本文旨在比较阿扎胞苷(AZA)和地西他滨(DAC)对不适于大剂量化疗的骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)和急性髓系白血病(AML)患者的疗效。
回顾性评估2005年1月至2020年期间接受去甲基化药物(HMAs)治疗的MDS和AML患者。
在AML患者中,接受AZA或DAC治疗的患者之间未发现统计学上的显著差异。在MDS组中,接受DAC治疗的患者缓解率在统计学上显著更高(p = 0.032)。
MDS在反应方面的优势以及AZA和DAC对AML和MDS患者在生存方面无差异,将对文献做出重要贡献。
