| Summary: | This book describes the state of the art in the treatment of acute leukemia. Major results of clinical and experimental laboratory research regarding the role of treatment alternatives are reported. New data on prognostic factors involving cytogenetics and clinical features enable optimized risk-adapted treatment strategies, including allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation to be developed. Preclinical data indicate that adoptive immunotherapy should become a promis- ing new form of therapy. Recombinant hematopoietic growth factors should make treatment of leukemia more effective in the future. |
