This week the Australian Government approved Lenalidomide (Revlimid) on the PBS for Del 5q patients. This is wonderful news as the government will now pay for the drug.
I found this video on an ecancer education website on Lenalidomide which I found helpful. It discussed a study on the effect of Lenaliomide on MDS Del 5q patients.
After 3.5 years of being on Revlimid, it's good that there is more information and trial results on MDS Del 5q, especially for those newly diagnosed.
