In acute leukemias the goal of treatment is the clone of leukemia cells without destroying the cells that make normal blood cells produced.
We can not say how long after the beginning of the first treament treatment stopped. Normally, was arrested after the progression of the disease, there is a maintenance phase of treatment. This must be at least 2 years without evidence of disease recurrence will
If this is not a throwback to the time of the special treatment to be abandoned.
We certainly can not say exactly how long the drug remains
stopped. This will be decided according to the current research and the type of leukemia.
Is disease relapse shortly after treatment ends
Prognosis is bad ..
More time after relapse on maintenance therapy might be effective treament.
A symptom free period of 3 years have a good prognosis.
