title: [Alternatives and further development of therapy of acute myeloid leukemia in adults. Update of West German multicenter studies].
abstract: The 1982 randomized, multicenter trial on adult-AML in West Germany revealed a superiority of remission duration (p = 0.004) and survival (p = 0.06) for patients receiving monthly myelosuppressive maintenance chemotherapy after TAD9-induction and consolidation as compared to patients without maintenance. In the 1985 pilot study double induction as a new approach followed by consolidation and monthly maintenance in patients up to 60 years of age was found well practicable, with 77% complete remissions and 12% early deaths in 81 patients. In addition preliminary remission duration and survival at 1 1/2 years appear favorable.
