Abstract:
Acute leukemia is a disease of the elderly. In this group of patients, possible effects of chemotherapy must be taken into account and, as far as possible, the patient's general state of health stabilised prior to treatment. The complexity of the treatment is further increased by supportive measures, which should be applied both rigorously and with care. The therapeutic concept must take account of the quality of life of the elderly patient.
