Résumé
Decitabine and low-dose chemotherapy are common treatments for intermediate and high risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). In this study, we retrospectively assessed the efficacy and toxicity of the two regimens for MDS-refractory anemia with excess blasts (MDS-RAEB) patients. A total of 112 patients with a diagnosis of MDS-RAEB are included. The overall response (OR) and complete remission (CR) rate was comparable between the two groups (OR: 64.1% vs. 66.7%, p = 0.60; CR: 23.4% vs. 31.3%, p = 0.64). The OR rates of 20 mg/m
