Background Adult acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are malignancies with great primary sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. In AML, a complete remission rate of 70% to 80% can be obtained (1-4); however, as with ALL, most patients usually die of recurrent disease within 1 yr of initial chemotherapy. The long-term survival of AML patients who achieve complete remission (CR) is about 20% at 5 yr (5-6). The addition of newer drugs such as 4’(9-acridinylaminomethanesulfon-manisidide) (mAMSA), etoposide (VP-16), and 5-azacytidine to the treatment regimens and the more effective use of older agents, e.g. high-dose cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), have yielded only marginal improvements. Aggressive treatment approaches after induction therapy in the form of consolidation and early or late intensification of treatment have yet to demonstrate major survival improvements. Although recent studies suggest that early intensification of treatment in remission improves survival (7-9), late intensification has prolonged median remission duration but has not influenced the percentage of patients cured (1011). Because of logistics, late intensification selects patients who are in a continuous complete remission for a prolonged time period and therefore have a greater chance of being cured. Most studies evaluating the role of maintenance chemotherapy over an extended period of time indicate that, at best, it has a positive effect on remission duration but so far it shows no convincing effect on the survival and cure rate (12-18). The long-term outcome of adult ALL has also been dismal, though in most recent studies it appears somewhat better than that of AML. Treatment strategies employing intensive induction chemotherapy with cycling maintenance therapy and alternate regimens of aggressive chemotherapy given over prolonged periods of time have yielded long-term disease-free survival of close to 40% (19, 20). The emergence of therapy-resistant leukemic cell populations, which results in relapse and disease that does not respond to therapy, is most often blamed for therapy failure. Studies with hematological animal tumors treated with radiation and certain drugs have shown that a definite and often steep dose-response curve exists (21-23). Recognition of these phenomena led to the application of high-dose chemoand radiotherapy. Resistance can be overcome by escalation of the dose of chemotherapy alone (24) or in conjunction with supralethal total body irradia-
