[Prognostic value of chromosome anomalies in acute non-lymphoblastic leukemias].
The results of a cytogenetic study on 240 acute nonlymphocytic leukemia patients (187 adults and 53 children) were classified in NN (normal), AN (abnormal and normal) and AA (abnormal). Pronostic value of the classification was presented. A higher proportion of complete remission failures was observed in chromosomally abnormal patients (AN and AA). Survival of patients with complete remission was significantly shorter in AN and AA patients than in NN patients. An excess of constitutional chromosome abnormalities was observed in children.
