Response to doxorubicin in hairy cell leukaemia
Scandinavian Journal of Haematology
|November 1, 1978
Abstract:
A case of hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) treated by single-agent chemotherapy after the failure of splenectomy is reported. The patient was treated with doxorubicin 50 mg on 4 occasions over an 8-day period. After 2 weeks of profound pancytopenia, substantial blood and bone marrow improvement ensued. This case demonstrates that HCL may in some case be treated successfully by intensive chemotherapy.
