210 cases of polycythemia vera were observed over a period of 15 years. The majority of them received P32; treatment with Myleran instead of with radioactive phosphorus was instituted only recently. To a small number of patients chemotherapy was given alternately with P32. The differing response pattern to either kind of treatment and the possible interference of therapy with the natural development of the disease process are demonstrated in a few selected cases.
