    Abstract:
    Sixteen of 20 patients(80%) with adult ANLL treated with B H-AC X AMP therapy attained complete remission (CR). According to the FAB classification, CR rate was 6 out of 8 (75%) for M1, 3 out of 5 (60%) for M2, 2 out of 2 (100%) for M3, and 5 out of 5 (100%) for M4. The median of remission duration in 16 patients who attained CR was 8 months and appeared to be longer in patients with M2, rather than other types, of leukemia than in those with the other types of leukemia. BH-AC X AMP therapy is highly effective for remission induction in adult ANLL and long term disease free survival could be expected by addition of appropriate maintenance therapy.
