Azacitidine is used as a maintenance therapy after remission — meaning it helps keep leukemia from coming back after initial treatment has worked. It's considered part of the post-remission or consolidation phase of care.
Here are a few things worth knowing about this stage of treatment:
- Maintenance therapy can continue for months or even years
- The goal is to destroy any remaining leukemia cells that survived earlier treatment
- Regular monitoring tests are typically scheduled every few months
- Side effects and risks should always be discussed openly with your doctor Every person's experience with AML treatment is unique, depending on factors like age, leukemia subtype, and genetic mutations. The best thing to do is keep an open conversation with your care team about how Azacitidine is working for you and any side effects you're noticing.
