Acta Haematol. 1976;56(4):202-4. doi: 10.1159/000207938.

Abstract

In three cases of acute promyelocytic leukaemia remission was induced with cytosine arabinoside, daunarubicin and vincristine. The coagulopathy was controlled by EACA without resorting to the use of heparin. All three survived more than 85 weeks.
