Abstract
Sixty-seven children with acute leukemia and with one or more previous relapses were treated with Daunomycin and prednisone to determine the effectiveness of this combination for inducing clinical and hematologic remissions. Sixty had acute lymphocytic, and seven acute myelocytic leukemia. Of the former, 39 attained complete, and 10 partial, bone-marrow remission. Of the latter, one had complete, and one partial remission.Keywords
