[Alpha interferon treatment in hairy cell leukemia]
1Kliniken för allmän onkologi, Akademiska Sjukhuset, Uppsala.
Abstract:
Since 1984 alpha-interferon (alpha IFN) has been the treatment of choice in cases of hairy-cell leukaemia. However, eight years' experience shows that, although a large majority of the patients are improved, they are not cured. Thus, a new type of cytostatic drug, perhaps capable of cure as well, may replace alpha-IFN for the treatment of hairy-cell leukaemia in the future.
