title: Intractable chronic lymphocytic leukemia and interferon.
abstract: The hypothesis that interferon may be useful for intractable chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is based on two incidental findings: first, the similarity in the in vitro radioresistance of the blood lymphocytes of intractable CLL and of hairy cells; secondly, the similarity of the incidence of intractable CLL patients and the incidence of CLL patients who respond to interferon treatment.
