Outcome of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with chromosome 5 and 7 abnormalities [excluding del 5(q)] has been poor with fewer than 10% of patients alive at 2 years. We investigated whether treatment with hypomethylating agents (5-azacytidine/decitabine) leads to an improved outcome. Between January 2004 and December 2007, 81 patients [37 (46%) with AML (≥ 20% blast); 44 (54%) with high-risk MDS] with chromosome 5 and 7 abnormalities were treated with hypomethylating agents as their initial therapy. These included 68 patients with complex (≥ 3) abnormalities and 13 with less than 3 aberrations. During the same period, 151 patients (126 with AML, 25 with MDS) with chromosome 5 and 7 abnormalities (128 complex, 23 non-complex) were treated with intensive chemotherapy (including cytarabine based regimens in 72% and other in 28%). Median ages for the two groups were 66 and 61 years, respectively [(ranges (37–85) and (19–89)]. Thirty three (41%) patients in the hypomethylating group achieved CR versus 53 (35%) in the chemotherapy group (p=0.395). With a median follow up of 51 weeks (range 12 – 101) and 40 weeks (range, 5–128), 22/33 patients in the hypomethylating group and 33/53 patients in the chemotherapy group have relapsed. The median CR duration was 45 weeks and 23 weeks, respectively (p=0.153). The overall survival was superior for the hypomethylating group compared to the chemotherapy group (p=0.019). Treatment with hypomethylating agents may be superior to chemotherapy in patients with chromosome 5 and 7 abnormalities.
