title: Cytosine arabinoside-induced differentiation and killing: unresolved questions.
abstract: A brief survey of the problems related to leukemic cell differentiation is proposed. The role of cytosine-arabinoside among the differentiation inducers and its potential clinical utility is discussed on the basis of the present literature. The authors report a case of myelomonocytic leukemia which displayed a differentiative response to cytarabine treatment.
