Eur J Haematol. 2002 Apr;68(4):233-5. doi: 10.1034/j.1600-0609.2002.01669.x.

Abstract

Danazol has been used with success in some hematological diseases, but there is no report of this treatment in acute leukemia. We report here a case of remission of myelodysplastic syndrome with myelofibrosis in transformation after danazol therapy in a 72-yr-old man. The role of danazol in remission induction is briefly discussed.
