Of 31 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia treated with a cyclical scheme of chemotherapy, 19% survived for over 5 years, 16% remained in continuing haematological remission for 5 years, and 13% remained leukaemia free for 5 years. These findings are relevant to potential cure, unlike the median remission duration, which is a measure of palliation. A relation between the percentage of PAS-positive blast cells at diagnosis and duration of control of the disease still pertains for the long-term results in this series of patients.
在采用周期性化疗方案治疗的31例急性淋巴细胞白血病患儿中,19%存活超过5年,16%持续血液学缓解达5年,13%无白血病生存达5年。这些发现与潜在治愈相关,与作为缓解指标的中位缓解持续时间不同。在这组患者的长期结果中,诊断时PAS阳性原始细胞百分比与疾病控制持续时间之间的关系仍然存在。
