Abstract

Gamma interferon is employed in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Patients treated in the benign stage exhibit partial and, in some cases, complete responses to gamma interferon. Successful results have also been obtained with some patients in the blast stage of the disease as well as patients who had been found to be refractory to treatment with alpha interferon.
