title: [Results in the treatment of acute leukemias at the Internal Clinic B in the period 1970-1975].
abstract: Results of the treatment of 102 acute leukemia patients are presented. The diagnosis in 61 patients was acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in 41 patients acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL). In the treatment of AML were used Daunorubicyne (DNR), Cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C) or combination of both drugs, some elder patients being treated with 6-mercapropurine. Number of patients were made aplastic and died during the initial phase of therapy. Nine of 24 patients treated with DNR, ARA-C or combined developed complete remission, 6 patients lived for one year and 4 patients two years. ALL patients were treated with Prednisone-Vincristine, Prednisone-Vincristine-DNR and some of them with Prednisone-Vincristine-DNR-Cyclophosphamide-L-Asparaginase combinations of drugs. Complete remission was obtained in 22 out of 32 patients (69%) and 6 patients lived for 2 years.
