[Results and perspectives of therapy of chronic myelosis]

A survey is given on the present state of the standard therapy of chronic myeloleucosis as well as on some newer tendencies of treatment. Since in the therapy of the chronic phase of the disease and also of the blast crisis despite application of combinations of cytostatics no decisive success is to be recorded, some newer techniques--the splenectomy as well as the various kinds of the transplantation of bone marrow (autologous, syngenic, allogenic)--and their chances for success are briefly discussed.
