An important property of the drug arabinosyl cytosine is that the clinical effectiveness in adult acute leukemia is significantly affected by the schedule of drug administration. Moreover, changes in schedule result in a qualitative change in the nature of the dose limiting toxicity of the drug. A s

Serial coagulation studies were performed in 26 pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia during initial induction therapy with vincristine, prednisone, and L-asparaginase. Prolongation of screening coagulation tests was frequent: prothrombin time (in 16 of 26 patients), partial thrombopl

Early intensive therapy might be critical in improving failure-free survival for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Between 1973 and 1977, 107 children received vincristine and prednisone (VP) induction and 30 received the same two agents plus an anthracycline (VPA). Ninety-nine of the VP-t
