Cytarabine is one of a group of the medicines known as
cytotoxics; these medicines are used in the treatment of
acute leukaemias (cancer of blood where you have too

growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed.
•
Remission induction is an intensive treatment to force
leukaemia into retreat. When it works, the balance of cells
