LITHIUM TREATMENT IN ADULTS WITH ACUTE MYELOID-LEUKEMIA RECEIVING CHEMOTHERAPY
LITHIUM TREATMENT IN ADULTS WITH ACUTE MYELOID-LEUKEMIA RECEIVING CHEMOTHERAPY MEDICAL AND PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY Horns, R. C., Schrier, S. L., Greenberg, P. L. 1984; 12 (3): 169-172Abstract
To determine whether lithium can shorten chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, 35 adult patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia undergoing initial chemotherapy were randomized either to receive oral lithium started at the time of biopsy-proven hypoplasia or to receive no lithium. This study failed to show statistically significant shortening of the duration of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in the lithium treatment group.
