Great strides have been made in the chemotherapy of adult acute myeloid leukaemia in the last two decades. This paper describes our experience in the treatment of adult acute myeloid leukaemia from 1980-88. About two thirds of patients achieve remission with a standard chemotherapy protocol. Early disease relapse and measures to prevent it are major problems. The majority of patients with adult myeloid leukaemia, presently, are not cured with chemotherapy alone.
