BACKGROUND: While lenalidomide (LEN) shows high efficacy in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with del[5q], responses can be also seen in patients presenting without del[5q]. We hypothesized that improved detection of chromosomal abnormalities with new karyotyping tools may better predict response to LEN. DESIGN AND METHODS: We have studied clinical, molecular and cytogenetic features of 42 patients with MDS,...
