Effect of Complete Remission and Responses Less Than Complete Remission on Survival in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Combined Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Southwest Oncology Group and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Study

摘要

PurposeIt is known that complete remission (CR) prolongs survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In 2003, less stringent response categories were introduced, most notably CR with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp). Although the significance of CRp for survival remains unclear, reports of AML trials frequently combine CR with CRp rather than considering CR as a separate entity.
