title: [The results of using differentiated programs of therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in adults].
abstract: Results of the treatment of 30 adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are analyzed. Before the treatment was commenced, the patients were distributed into groups with a favourable, intermediate and unfavourable prognosis depending on the signs previously defined by the authors. In the phase of induction and consolidation of a remission, the treatment intensity in these groups varied. The rate of complete remissions (CR) reached 70% in the whole group; provided Ph-positive ALLs were excluded from the analysis, it was 75%, the median duration of the CR amounted to 21 months, the projected 4-year relapse-free survival was 41%. In the group of historic control (31 patients treated in accordance with the unified program), these indicators were 58 and 69%, 18 months, and 21%, respectively. All the differences appeared statistically insignificant. In spite of the total treatment intensification, the rate of lethal outcomes did not rise during remission induction.
