title: Treatment of acute non-lymphoid leukemias: comparison of two protocols.
abstract: The results of treatment of 57 patients suffering from acute non-lymphoid leukemia by two protocols are compared. The more aggressive Coap protocol rendered a higher remission rate (57.1%), than the mild Guyer protocol where the remission rate has been 25%. The best results have been achieved in the former group in the younger population; in the latter group there has been no age-effect relationship. Although the remission rate differed in both protocols there has been no statistically significant difference in survival.
