title: Prognostic value of DNA histograms of bone marrow cells in acute myeloblastic leukaemias.
abstract: DNA histograms of bone marrow cells were studied in 25 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia before starting treatment. It was found that patients with complete remission showed a significantly higher proportion of cells in phase S of the cellular cycle (22 +/- 3%) than patients who failed to achieve remission (12 +/- 4%). Assessment of DNA histograms of bone marrow cells may be one of prognostic factors in acute myeloblastic leukemia.
