The results of treating 140 cases of polycythemia vera with P/sup 32/ over the last 9 yr are described. Oral doses of 4 to 5 mc P/sup 32/ or intravenous doses of 3 to 8 mc were given. Two-thirds of the patients experienced remission of the disease after the 1st P/sup 32/ dose, the remissions lasting 8 months or longer. The remainder of the patients required a 2nd dose. The average duration of remission was 20 months with over haif exceeding 1 yr. The mean dose to obtain remission was 4.4 mc/yr. The required dose was directly related to the degree of splenomegaly, leukocytosis, and duration of the disease. The higher the initial circulating erythrocyte count before P/sup 32/ treatment, the greater the drop after treatment. The average drop in erythrocyte count was 1.8, 2.4, and 2.6 x 10/sup 6/ after P/sup 32/ doses of 3-5, 5-7, and 7 mc, respectively. In cases with initial counts of 7.5 x 10/sup 6//cu mm the respective decrements in the counts were resulted in transitory anemia, leukopenia, or thrombopenia. Five patients died of leukemia but the infiuence of the P/sup 32/ dose, if any, on this complication could not be determined. Twenty other patients died from the complications of polycythemia, such as thrombosis and hemorrhage. The recommended single dose is 4-5 mc P/sup 32/, which should be repeated after 3 to 4 months if there is an inadequate response to the 1st dose. (H.H.D.)
