We have used low-dose prednisone, in conjunction with granulocyte, colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and erythropoietin, to treat an elderly patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with an excess of blasts. Our findings indicate that such treatment is safe and may be effective in the long term survival of patients with high-risk MDS.
