[Natural killer activity--an index of treatment efficacy in patients with acute leukemia]
Abstract:
Treatment results were analyzed in 60 patients with acute non-lymphoblastic leucosis. In 30 patients treatment was carried out with consideration of sensitivity of blast cells to chemotherapeutic agents, in 30 polychemotherapy programs were used. Results indicate that individual choice of agents produced a large number of complete clinico-hematological remissions. In 50% of patients with clinico-hematological improvement natural killers were found in the blood and they showed activity after a course of selected treatment.
