Abstract
The use of cytosine arabinoside (Ara‐C) infused at kinetically suggested intervals is reported in 40 pediatric patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and its subtypes. Response was observed in 17 of the 34 evaluable patients. However, the severe, often fatal effects of the regimen prevent its recommendation as a standard induction regimen in AML in children.Keywords
