| Popis: | Comparable groups of patients with leukemic involvement of the central nervous system were treated by lumbar puncture alone, by the intrathecal administration of methotrexate, or by x-ray therapy. Methotrexate or x-ray therapy gave the best results and were equally effective. The side effects of x-ray, such as alopecia, to make intrathecal methotrexate the treatment of choice although indications for x-ray treatment or a combination of methotrexate and x-ray therapy are sometimes present. |
