Twelve patients with small-cell anaplastic carcinoma of the lung were treated with vincristine 1 mg/m2 i.v. day 1, adriamycin 50 mg/M2 i.v. day 1, cyclophosphamide 1,000 mg/m2 i.v. day 1, and etoposide 80 mg/m2 i.v. day 2, 4, 6 given on an outpatient basis and repeated at 3-week intervals. As consolidation therapy seven patients received two courses of BCNU median 29 mg/m2 (range 24-73 mg/m2) short term intraarterial infusion in the bronchial artery with 2 to 3-weeks intervals. One patient with limited disease had no evidence of disease for 13+ months and one patient complete remission for 3+ months. Four of ten patients with extensive disease had complete remission for median 5 months (range 2+ to 5+ months) and four patients had partial remission for median 5 months (range 4 to 5+ months). Despite side effects the chemotherapy was well tolerated by the patients. The results correspond to those obtained with other effective regimens in small-cell anaplastic carcinoma of the lung.
