Abstract
Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who fail hypomethylating agents have a very short median survival and about 25% risk of disease transformation to acute myeloid leukemia. We report our experience with low-dose protracted oral clofarabine in one patient who achieved stable disease for more than two years after failing 5-azacitidine.Entities:
