摘要
Sixty-seven unselected adult patients with untreated acute non lymphotblastic leukemia (ANLL) ranging in age from 15 to 80 years received a new induction regimen consisting of Idarubicin, Etoposide and Cytarabine. Patients who entered complete remission (CR) were then allocated to 4 courses of post remission intensification. After this, patients under 50 years of age with a compatible donor were given allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or autologous BMT (ABMT) in those without an HLA-compatible donor; the remainder, older than 50, did not receive further therapy. Fifty-six of 67 patients (83.5% achieved CR (02.5% in young and 70.3% in old patients) and 40 (71 % after the first course. Seven patients (of whom, 6 were > 50 years) died in aplasia during the induction phase and four additional patients (all elderly) died during post-remission intensification without recurrent disease. Subsequently, the younger patients received transplants (BMT: 4 pts; ABMT: 10 pts). Twelve: of the 52 (23% who survived post remission intensification (BMT: 1; ABMT: 4; others: 7) are disease free survivors 9-67 months (median, 32 months) after achieving CR. In conclusion, this intensive chemotherapy regimen is highly effective both in young and odder patients but the post-remission intensification may be too aggressive for elderly patients. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
