  • 80 Accesses

Abstract

In 1978 the Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cooperative Group (AMLCG) started its work. We take this opportunity to summarize the major results of the 10 years’ work of this study group and combine it with an overview of results from other multicenter study results as published during the past decade. What are the lessons learned from clinical study data during the 1980s resulting from more than 5000 patients treated for AML?

Supported by grants 01 ZP 012/3 and 01 ZP 8701/9 from Ministery for Research and Technology of the FRG.
