title: [Treatment of acute leukemias in adults. III. Analysis of 5 cases with survival over 21/2 years].
abstract: Out of 49 adult patients with acute leukaemia admitted successively over a period of 3 years (1976-1978) those surviving next 1.5 year were followed up (till June 30 1980). Forty-one cases were qualified for combined treatment with cytostatic drugs. Five patients are alive over 2.5 years (30-46 months), three of them in the first complete remission (28-33 months), one patient in second remission, and one patient is alive with relapse after first complete remission. The per cent of patients surviving over 2.5 years is 10.2% of the successively admitted patients, and 12.2% of those treated with cytostatic drugs. This fairly long survival may be due to intensive induction treatment and maintenance treatment.
