Leukemia patients treated with arsenic, vitamin A

HONG KONG (Reuters) – Doctors appear to have safely and successfully treated patients with cancer of the blood and bone marrow with a combination of arsenic and vitamin A, according to long-term study in China.
In an article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the doctors said they prescribed the regimen to 85 patients and monitored them for an average of 70 months.
Of these, 80 patients went into complete remission and the researchers did not find any associated long-term problems in their heart or lungs and there was no development of secondary cancers.
"Two years after their treatment, the patients had arsenic blood and urine levels well below safety limits, and only slightly higher than controls," they wrote.
"The treatment was effective ... and worked better than either drug given alone."
The authors recommended that the treatment be given to patients with blood and bone marrow cancer, or acute promyelocytic Leukemia.
While vitamin A is regarded by some experts as a viable treatment, this is the first time that its use has been monitored for such an extended period of time.
Since the 18th century, arsenic compounds have been used as medicines to treat certain ailments. The US Food and Drug Administration approved it for the treatment of people with blood and bone marrow cancer in 2000.

翻译：中国的医生根据长期研究安全地和顺利地使用“砷，即砒霜”和维生素A治疗血癌和骨髓癌症。公布在《美国国家科学院院刊》（PNAS）的文章上，他们说85名病患经过规定的治疗并且监测了他们平均70个月。这85名病患中有80名完全治愈并且研究员没有发现病患的心脏与肺脏有终生性或长期性问题更没发现次要癌症的发展。他们写道 "在他们的治愈后两年，患者血液和尿的砷含量是低于安全标准上限， 只是微微的高于控制群。"  "这治疗是有效的。。。两种药物同用比单用有效."  作者建议治疗有血液和骨髓癌症的病人，或者急性前髓球性白血病。有些专家认为维生素A是一种可行的治疗方法，但这是第一次长期监测它的用途。从18世纪开始砷化合物就被用于治疗某些疾病 （我们中医比你们早了不止几百年!）。 美国粮食与药物管理局（FDA）在2000年批准了它用于治疗血癌和骨髓癌症。
