Improvement in the management of acute leukemia in adults has not progressed nearly so rapidly as has the treatment of childhood leukemia. One important difference is that most adults have myeloblastic or related forms of the disease (AML), whereas the majority of children have lymphoblastic ...

The excellent progress which has been made during the last 3 decades in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children is well known, and it appears that about half of children with ALL are now probably being cured with the best therapeutic programs [1–4]. Using the same ...
The results of treatment of 629 previously untreated adults with acute leukemia at Memorial Hospital are reviewed. During the past 14 years, 135 adults (>15 years) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have been treated with one of three successive multidrug-intensive treatment protocols (L2, L1...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemic (ALL) has served as the model for the cure of neoplasia by chemotherapy for several decades, but even now fewer than half of adult patients achieve long disease-free survival (DFS). Steady improvements in the cure rate for adults have been achieved through more accu...

Transplantation of IL-2-mobilized autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells for adults with acute myelogenous leukemia in first remission In order to improve leukemia-free survival we evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of autologous transplantation of interleukin-2 (IL-2)-mobilized periph...

The treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adults is extremely complex, lengthy, and very stressful for patients. Compared to other types of cancer in adults, ALL is relatively rare, as a result of which its treatment in Europe has been organized by multicenter study groups for decades. ...
Introduction:The results of treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) from the low population countries are missing in the literature. Patients and methods:We retrospectively examined biological characteristics and survival of 90 patients with ALL. Results:At median follow-up 17 months, 52 men ...
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most frequent form of leukemia in adults. The disease develops very rapidly, and has a very poor prognosis, with an average overall 5-year survival rate of 29% with standard therapy. Immunotherapy has led to significant advances in the treatment of several...
