A clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance
     chemotherapy for acute myelogenous leukaemia was  conducted by
     Embury et al. (1977) at Stanford University.  After reaching a
     stage of remission through treatment by chemotherapy, patients
     were randomized into two groups. The first group received
     maintenance chemotherapy and the  second group did not.  The aim
     of the study was to see if maintenance  chemotherapy increased the
     length of the remission.  The data here formed a preliminary
     analysis which was conducted in October 1974.
