## Abstract Significant progress in understanding the mechanisms leading to the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has led to the identification of numerous molecular abnormalities that may be responsible for leukemogenesis. Over the same period, large trials have established standard regi

## Abstract Clofarabine is a second generation nucleoside analogue. It inhibits DNA repair and activates the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway leading to cell death. __In vitro__ clofarabine has demonstrated synergy with daunorubicin and AraβC and in phase II clinical trials has shown promising activ
Fourteen patients with poor-risk acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) and five patients with accelerated phase/blast crisis chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) were treated with 3 days of oral idarubicin (25 mg/m2/ day). No complete remissions or return to chronic phase CML were observed. A fall in the per
Although the cure of acute leukaemia has improved significantly, many patients will still relapse and die. The unraveling of the molecular pathogenesis of acute leukaemia has lead to the identification of new prognostic factors and improved the detection of minimal residual disease. The treatment of
## Abstract Patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are increasingly being enrolled in clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical companies or the National Cancer Institute. These trials routinely exclude patients who are less likely to respond (LLTR), e.g. those with Zubrod pe
