Reinduction Chemotherapy for Acute Nonlymphocytic Leukemia
1984
Twenty-four patients who had a relapse after successful treatment of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia were re-treated with a chemotherapeutic program similar to that which produced the initial remission. Eight of the nine patients who achieved a second remission had received a three-drug reinduction regimen consisting of cytosine arabinoside, an anthracycline, and 6-thioguanine. An increased duration of initial remission before relapse (more than 26 weeks) predicted a greater likelihood of achieving a second remission.
