Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Acute leukemia was uniformly fatal until the development of effective therapeutic chemotherapy (CT) regimens in the early 1970s. Combination CT for acute leukemia induced complete remission (CR) in the majority of patients, but postremission therapy was inadequate to prevent relapse (1) . Relapsed patients, and those who failed to achieve CR, invariably died from their leukemia. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
