High-dose methotrexate with leucovorin rescue: effectiveness in relapsed hairy cell leukemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Six patients with relapsed hairy cell leukemia after splenectomy were treated with high-dose methotrexate and leucovorin rescue. Five patients had objective responses as determined by improved blood counts. In two of them, the response has continued for more than 14 and 44 months, respectively. Intensive treatment with high-dose methotrexate and leucovorin rescue was well tolerated and no significant myelosuppression was seen.

The cytokinetics of marrow recovery were compared in patients receiving a standard exposure to high-dose methotrexate followed by either thymidine rescue, leucovorin rescue at the doses used in most clinical protocols (10 mg/sq m every 6 hr), or leucovorin rescue at a 5-fold higher dose rate (50 mg/sq m every 6 hr). Thymidine rescue initiated a prompt recovery of DNA synthesis, as detected by [...
