13. The method of claim 1, wherein 5-azacytidine is subcutaneously administered in an amount of about 25 mg/m.sup.2/day to about 75 mg/m.sup.2/day for days 1-5 every 28 days.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein 5-azacytidine is orally administered in an amount of 120 mg per day for days 1-7 every 28 days.

15. The method of claim 12, 13 or 14, wherein the 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered orally in an amount of about 5 mg to about 25 mg per day for twenty-one days followed by seven days rest every 28 days.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol 2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered cyclically in an amount of about 5 mg to about 25 mg per day for fourteen days followed by fourteen days rest every 28 days.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione is administered orally in an amount of about 10 mg per day for twenty-one days followed by seven days rest every 28 days.

18. A method of improving survival of a patient having higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome, which comprises (a) administering to a patient having a higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome a therapeutically effective amount of 5-azacytidine for a period of time followed by a period of rest; (b) repeating step (a); (c) administering to the patient from about 5 mg per day to about 25 mg per day of 3-(4-amino-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-isoindol-2-yl)-piperidine-2,6-dione or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for a period of time followed by a period of rest; and (d) repeating step (c).

19. The method of claim 18, wherein a higher risk myelodysplastic syndrome is Intermediate-2 or High risk in international prognostic scoring system (IPSS), or refractory anemia with excess blasts, refractory anemia with excess blasts in transformation, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia having 10-29% marrow blasts.
