Decitabine was administrated at the indicated daily dosages, divided into three 4-hour infusions for 3 days.
DAC indicates decitabine; F, female; M, male; RAEB-t, refractory anemia with excess blasts in leukemic transformation; HU, hydroxyurea; and CMMoL, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
Decitabine was used as first-line therapy due to the low performance status (less than 60%, Karnofsky scale) of patients.
Secondary AMLs evolved from a previous myeloproliferative disorder.
