Polychemotherapy in ovarian cancer: treatment with Adriamycin, BCNU and cyclophosphamide vs. Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide. 1984

T Mazzei, and M Bonazza, and G Amunni, and G Scarselli, and F Branconi, and G B Massi

The authors compared both therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of two different treatment regimens: ABC = adriamycin, nitrogen mustard (BCNU) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) vs. AC = adriamycin and cyclophosphamide in ovarian cancer. Thirty-one patients were entered under treatment plan ABC and 26 under treatment plan AC simultaneously. Therapeutic evaluation was subdivided into different risk groups (adjuvant therapy, residual disease less than or greater than 2 cm). A similar result could be noted in the two different treatment regimens. Toxicity was more severe and frequent in the group treated with BCNU. The AC regimen was preferred because of its lower incidence of side-effects and for its easier mode of administration.

D003131 Combined Modality Therapy The treatment of a disease or condition by several different means simultaneously or sequentially. Chemoimmunotherapy, RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY, chemoradiotherapy, cryochemotherapy, and SALVAGE THERAPY are seen most frequently, but their combinations with each other and surgery are also used.

D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
