Naar verwachting zal met name concurrentie met azacitidine plaatsvinden. De positie in de richtlijn is nog niet bekend. Echter, is dit nieuwe product oraal en zal er dus wel een mogelijk voordeel in toedieningsgemak zijn. Ook is een fijne bijkomstigheid dat decitabine over het algemeen minder leidt tot misselijkheid.
