Spontaneous remission in acute myeloid leukaemia

R Paul et al. Br J Haematol. 1994 Jan.

Abstract

A summary of the literature of adult patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who have undergone spontaneous remission (SR) is presented together with a report of a patient whose SR was accompanied by cytogenetic remission. There are less than 20 reports of SR since the 1980s. SR is by no means synonymous with cure, since the average duration of the remission is only 7.1 +/- 9.2 months. Neither infections nor transfusions are absolute requirements of SR.
