Tóm tắt

19 patients with acute myeloid leukaemia were treated with cytosine arabinoside and daunomycin in combination. The treatment was administered continuously instead of in short cycles. 10 complete and 5 partial remissions were induced. 1 patient was a definite therapeutic failure, while 3 patients did not have adequate trial. Disregarding the latter 3 patients the overall remission frequency was 94 %. 8 of 11 patients more than 60 years old acquired remissions, of which 4 were complete. The median survival was 8 months for the entire series, and the mean duration of the remissions was 5 months.
