title: [The therapeutic advances in adult acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia. The experience at the Hospital de Especialidades of the Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI].
abstract: Acute adult nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) involves a large group of diseases which originate in an abnormal process of differentiation of the hematopoietic stem cell. This paper analyses the historical background of such a group of malignant hemopathies, current criteria to perform the diagnosis and also the most important therapies used in both the stage of remission induction and the period following this stage (post-remission status). In this context, the therapeutic achievements that have had place during the last two decades at the Hospital de Especialidades del Centro Medico Nacional Siglo XXI are analyzed.
