Four cases of acute or subacute leukemia were treated with temporarily radio-active phosphorus prepared on the Harvard cyclotron and injected intravenously in the form of dibasic sodium phosphate. The doses ranged from 1 to 4 millicurie equivalents. Some improvement has been seen in two patients as evidenced by their general condition, level of white-cell count and condition of bone-marrow. These patients are moderately active. Two patients showed no significant response beyond minor changes in white-cell count; both are dead. This therapy is experimental, and does not displace present methods of radiation for the treatment of leukemia. 195 Pilgrim Road References 1. Lawrence, J. H.; Scott, K. G., and Tuttle, L.
