Popis: In a multicenter randomised trial in newly diagnosed AML under age 60 double induction using TAD-HAM was more effective than TAD-TAD by more remissions in slow responders (p =.03) and a trend to higher overall remission and 5 year remission rates. In the TAD-HAM arm a progressive delay of blood cell recovery times from course to course suggests an impairment of normal and possibly also of leukemic stem cells which can explain the 40% continuous remissions in unselected patients.
