초록
Decitabine is widely accepted as the treatment options for elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. However, the efficacy has yet been assessed in Asian population. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 80 Korean elderly AML patients who were treated with decitabine. The median age was 74 years (range, 64 to 86 years) and 6 (7.5%), 48 (60.0%), and 25 (31.3%) patients were categorized to favorable, intermediate, and poor risk group, respectively. The median OS was 10.2 months (95% CI 5.0-15.4). Given that decitabine treatment demonstrated improved clinical outcomes, it could be considered as one of the first-line treatment for Korean elderly AML patients. © Yi et al.
