Decitabine

Decitabine is a medication that helps your bone marrow cells grow and mature more normally. It works by influencing how your cells develop, aiming to slow the growth of unhealthy cells and support healthier blood production. This treatment is often used for conditions like Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), where blood cells don't form properly, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer. It can be an important option for individuals who may not be able to undergo very strong chemotherapy.
