Popis: As to determine the effect of post-remission therapy in prolonging survival and duration of remission after complete remission, 50 patients with APL in complete remission induced by retinoic acid (RA) were divided into three groups randomly: (A) 30 cases, treated by alternate chemotherapy with RA; (B) 10 cases, with RA alone; (C) 10 cases, only with chemotherapy. The survival curves showed that Group A had the survival time more than 1 year in 87.4%, more than 2 year in 80.7%. 26/30 cases were survival and still in remission, the survival curve tend to be a plateau at 16 months. In Group B more than 1 year in 45.7%. In Group C, more than 1 year in 50%. (Keplan-Meier χ2=8.93P
