title: Adult acute nonlymphocytic leukemias.
abstract: For the first two decades, leukemic chemotherapy had little impact on survival. In the past 10 years, however, remission induction therapy has generated complete remissions which last approximately one year in about half to three fourths of those treated, with a seventh in some series alive at 5 years.
