Salvage treatments were intensive chemotherapy ( n = 25, 74%), and supportive care ( n = 9, 26%) in the 1998-2009 period, and intensive chemotherapy ( n = 63, 56%), hypomethylating agent ( n = 7, 6%), low-dose cytarabine-based ( n = 8, 7%), clinical trial ( n = 16, 14%) and supportive care ( n = 19, 17%) in the 2010-2018 period.
