We report the case of a 76-year old @entity1 with third relapse of @entity3052 who was successfully treated with @entity2213 . The decision to try @entity2213 was guided by bright expression of @entity2467 on the @entity1 's blasts. Treatment was well tolerated but the dose was reduced for @entity3043 and later stopped completely because of @entity55 . The @entity1 recovered with i.v. antibiotics, antimycotics and s.c. @entity1261 . Reevaluation of the bone marrow after the end of treatment demonstrated the absence of malignant blasts. Treatment with @entity2213 was started again with the intention to prolong remission duration. During the following months peripheral blood counts stabilized in the normal range indicating that a fourth complete remission has been achieved in this @entity1 . This is the first report demonstrating that @entity2213 can induce complete remission in relapsed @entity2467 positive @entity3052 in an elderly @entity1 . @entity1162 remains a considerable problem indicating that normal haematopoiesis is not completely independent of the signalling cascades inhibited by @entity2213 . Nevertheless our report supports further study of this drug in @entity2467 positive @entity3052 .

Complete remission of third recurrence of @entity3052 after treatment with XXXX ( @entity2213 ).
