The History of Leukemia Therapy-A Personal Journey

The advances in leukemia therapy which occurred during one professional lifetime of the author is described, and forms the basis for projecting the probable progress which will occur in a subsequent professional lifetime. These advances in leukemia therapy have rapidly found application to 'solid tumors,' suggesting that the road to cancer control will be led by discoveries made in leukemia biology, treatment, and prevention.
