Abstract
High-dose cytosine arabinoside (3g/m2 as a 120-min infusion every 12 hours for 6 days) was administered to 30 patients with relapsed refractory acute leukemia with the following results: 12 patients (40%) achieved complete remission, and 5 patients achieved partial remission. The median duration of complete remission was more than 4 months. The toxicity was tolerable, and remission could be achieved even in patients who had failed to respond to cytosine arabinoside in conventional doses.
