Two cases with adult acute myelocytic leukemia who survived more than five years are reported.Case 1 was a 44 year old housewife. She was diagnosed as acute myelocytic leukemia in Dec. 1973. She was given ACcP therapy with compllete remission. Chemotherapy was discontinued after 5 years and thereafter only immunotherapy was given. Relapse occurred in Oct. 1981, and she died in Mar. 1982. She lived 8 years and 2 months.Case 2, a 34 year old housewife, recieved DCMP therapy with a diagnosis of acute myelocytic leukemia in Mar. 1978. After 2 months, complete remission was achieved. She has been on maintenance and consolidation therapy without a relapse since then.These cases and a review of the literatures suggest that long term chemotherapy, at least for 8 years may be necessary to maintain complete remission of acute leukemia.
