Navigating the Desert of Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Azacitidine as a New Oasis

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of bone marrow disorders that can lead to ineffective hematopoiesis and a risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This review discusses the use of azacitidine, a demethylating agent, as a promising new treatment for MDS. The authors review the evidence from clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of azacitidine in improving blood values, reducing the risk of AML transformation, and extending survival for patients with MDS. This review provides practical recommendations for the use of azacitidine, emphasizing the importance of appropriate patient selection, monitoring for side effects, and ensuring optimal treatment outcomes.
