Abstract: | Trepanobiopsies of the bone marrow were studied in 46 patients in a chronic phase of chronic myeloid leukemia in different periods after the beginning of interferon-alpha therapy. Progression of myelofibrosis was observed in 2 cases only. Regression of myelofibrosis was observed in 14 cases of 29 (34.2%). A negative correlation between reticulin myelofibrosis and response to therapy was found. Disappearance of diffuse reticulin myelofibrosis in all cases was followed by a cytogenetic response. |
