Abstract
Anthracyclines are effective in the treatment of leukemia, but their use is limited because of cardiotoxicity. Liposomal daunorubicin (L-DNR) is potentially less cardiotoxic than daunorubicin (DNR). We compared in vitro cytotoxicity in pediatric acute leukemia samples and found no significant differences between cytotoxicity of DNR and L-DNR.
