B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: prognostic value of the immunophenotype and the clinico-haematological features.

abstract：:Corticosteroids are essential and one of the mainstays in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In vitro assays show that dexamethasone(DXM) is five to six times more cytotoxic to leukemic lymphoblasts than prednisolone (PDN) [1], and the use of DXM as an alternative drug for PDN is an important issue i...
