Since 1987 Acute Leukemias (AL) has regularly reported on the state of the art in the rapidly growing, successful and exciting field of biology and management of these diseases. In this volume large multicenter clinical trials again form the solid basis for the investigation of leukemic cell biology, the detection of biologic subgroups, their differential response to alternative treatment strategies and the further development of therapy. In particular, this volume addresses mechanisms of chromosomal translocations and transcription factors, risk-adapted treatment strategies, differentiation therapy, secondary AL, special aspects in older patients, and adoptive immunotherapy. Besides the antileukemic approaches, supportive treatment with new antimicrobial substances and growth factors is updated. As a forum of worldwide activities in the field of AL this volume contains both exhaustive overviews on major clinical issues and preliminary data and hypotheses not previously published.

Das Buch berichtet tiber das 1. Hauptthema der 28. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft flir Hamatologie und Onkologie 1983 in Mtinster. Der Zeitpunkt flir eine neue Bestandsaufnahme der Therapie der akuten Leukamien ist gtinstig, da ei- nige, in den 70er Jahren konzipierte Fortschritte inzwischen auf ausreichender Beobachtungszeit der behandelten Patienten beruhen. Die hier mitgeteilten und daB das diskutierten Ergebnisse aus maBgeblichen Zentren und Studien zeigen, Nahziel der kompletten Remission heute bei der Mehrzahl der Patienten zu er- reichen ist und daB dieses das Erreichen des Femziels Heilung flir einen Teil der Pa- tienten bedeutet. Dieser Teil erscheint bei lymphatischem Zelltyp groBer als bei myeloischem und innerhalb der Zelltypen bei Kindem groBer als bei Erwachsenen. Auf dem Weg bis hierher findet sich zunachst der therapeutische Durchbruch bei der Akuten Lymphatischen Leukamie des Kindes mittels Kombinations-Chemo- therapie und prophylaktischer antileukamischer Behandlung des Zentralnervensy- stems. Ihm folgten zahlreiche kleine Schritte der besseren Nutzung der verfligba- ren Chemotherapie durch ihre Intensivierung und Risiko-Anpassung. Parallel hier- zu wurde die Knochenmark-Transplantation hoch entwickelt. Die Immuntherapie fand konsequentere Formen. Wesentliche Altemativen und Modifikationen der Therapie akuter Leukamien befinden sich noch in Erprobung durch vergleichende Studien. Zuktinftiger Fortschritt ist zu sehen in einer Senkung der Frtihletalitat durch rechtzeitigen Therapiebeginn und verbesserte Supportivbehandlung, in der Entwicklung neuer, nicht kreuzresistenter Schemata zur Ausweich-Chemotherapie und ihre Einbeziehung in die primare Induktions- oder Konsolidierungs-Chemo- therapie, schlieBlich in der Erkennung von Risiko-Gruppen auch bei akuter mye- loischer Leukamie und einer Risiko-adaptierten Therapie oder Altemativ-Therapie.

The rates of acute leukemia cure have gradually improved over the last decade. Clinical study results reflect the impact of chemotherapy intensity and duration, the role of prolonged maintenance, intensified consolidation or very early intensification. Further progress has also been achieved in bone marrow trans plantation, and recent prospective studies and meta-analyses have contributed comparisons of the high antileukemic efficacy of bone marrow transplantation to that of improved chemotherapy. This allows a more successful combining of the two forms of treatment. New prognostic factors have emerged from both cytogenetic and molecular genetic research. Thus, the Philadelphia chromosome translocation and the bcr/abl gene rearrangement have proven to be the dominating risk factor in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Since the frequency increases with age, differences in prognosis between children and adults can be explained. Evaluation of molecular and immunologic leukemia cell markers has provided a better understanding of residual leukemia in clinical remission, as a prognostic factor and in monitoring the effectiveness of the antileukemic strategy. Recent work on leukemic cell biology has resulted in novel therapeutic approaches such as terminal differentiation by all-trans-retinoic acid, modulation of chemotherapy by hematopoietic growth factors such as GM-CSF and enhancement of immunologic control by cytokines such as interleukin 2. New antimicrobial drugs and the application of mostly empiric anti-infectious strategies have helped reducing the therapeutic risk. Thus, a number of recent achievements have provided us with new options in the management of patients with acute leukemias."
