Objective: To determine whether a cytogenetic response after interferon-alpha therapy in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia is independently associated with improved survival.Design: Retrospective analysis.Patients: 274 patients with a diagnosis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia in early chronic phase who were treated with interferon-alpha-based programs between 1982 and 1990.Intervention: Therapy with daily subcutaneous interferon-alpha given at 5 x 10(6) U/m(2) body surface area (highest dose schedule allowed on studies) or the maximally tolerated lower-dose schedule.Results: Overall, 219 (80%) patients achieved a complete hematologic response and 104 (38%) achieved a major cytogenetic response (
