[Development of therapy of acute myeloid leukemia at the First Internal Medicine Clinic in Plzen].
The authors summarize the development of diagnosis and treatment of acute myeloid leukaemias (AML) at the First Medical Clinic in Plzen in a (group) of 102 patients treated during 1966-1990. On their own results they demonstrate the importance of intensive post-remission treatment with large doses of cytosine arabinoside (ara-c) which makes possible long survival or complete recovery of some patients, and at the same time the necessity and pretentious character of comprehensive supportive treatment is emphasized.
