摘要: We conducted a randomized multicenter trial comparing low-dose cytarabine (LD ARA-C) (20 mg/m2 for 21 days) with an intensive chemotherapy (rubidazone [a daunorubicin-derived agent], 100 4 days, ARA-C 200 7 in 87 patients over 65 years of age de novo acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). Forty-one received LD and 46 chemotherapy. The number complete remissions (CRs) but also early deaths was higher the group, while partial (PRs) failures were more frequent group (P less than .001). Infectious complications during induction treatment numerous severe .01). Patients treated required fewer RBC transfusions .02), platelet .01), had shorter hospital stay Overall survival CR duration not significantly different either group. In PR those CRs identical. conclude that selected elderly ANLL may be obtained chemotherapy, ARA-C, is lower, long-lasting PRs are obtained, resulting similar overall survival.
