Azacitidine for treatment of imminent relapse in MDS or AML patients
Was researching this, and wondering if anyone had any thoughts...
I was offered this as a 'possible' protection against relapse, even though I am in the lowest risk band for relapse...
Has anyone done this post SCT/BMT for the purpose of minimizing relapse?
