What Types of Cancer is Azacitidine Used to Treat?
Azacitidine is primarily used to treat myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which encompass a range of conditions such as refractory anemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and refractory anemia with excess blasts. It is also used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly patients who are not candidates for intensive chemotherapy. Research is ongoing to investigate its efficacy in other cancer types, including certain solid tumors.
