摘要: Thirty-three patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) advanced Rai stage (III-IV) or progressive (0-II) disease were treated fludarabine as a single agent. Eleven (33%) obtained complete remission (CR), 13 (39%) clinical CR residual nodules the only evidence of (nodular partial [PR]), and two (6%) achieved PR for total response rate 79%. Response was rapid, usually occurring after three to six courses treatment. The major morbidity infection. Febrile episodes occurred in 13% (pneumonia 6%, minor infection 4%, transient fever undocumented cause 3%). Fludarabine appears be most cytoreductive agent so far studied CLL.
