title: Methotrexate infusions in poor prognosis acute lymphoblastic leukemia: II. High-dose methotrexate (HDM) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood: a pilot study from April 1981.
abstract: The pilot study using HDM in all cases of ALL in childhood had been run for 4 1/2 years as of September 1985. Fourteen (23%) of all 62 diagnosed cases of ALL had WBC above 50 X 10(9)/L, all 14 achieved CR. Three of them were below one year of age, two also had WBC above 400 X 10(9)/L, the third infant had B-cell-leukemia. The remaining 11 children received our new HDM protocol (Fig. 1), one of them had relapsed (BM) as of September 1985.
