Abstract

Data from studies of the duration of unmaintained remissions in human acute leukemia have been analyzed according to a murine L1210 leukemia model system. The pattern of recurrence follows an exponential distribution. The slope of recurrence (λ) was more shallow and the guarantee time (G) was longer for the intensive combination treatments (VAMP and BIKE) than for single drug treatment (vincristine and prednisone). The presented model provides the clinician with another potential tool for the analysis of the effectiveness of therapy on human leukemia.
