[Chemotherapy in advanced sarcomas (author's transl)]. 1981

43 patients with metastasizing sarcomas were treated with a combination of either vincristin, adriamycin and cis-platinum (n = 21) or ifosfamide and cis-platinum at three weeks' intervals in each case. Ten patients responded to the first combination and nine to the second combination with objective tumor regression. Particularly the latter result is remarkable since 16 of the 22 patients had already been pretreated with combinations containing adriamycin. Obviously the combination of ifosfamide and cis-platinum is a promising alternative in metastasizing sarcomas of the bones and soft tissue, especially if the CYVADIC combination--which is often regarded as standard treatment--remained unsuccessful. This has no bearing on additional surgical measures or on radiotherapy which may be necessary in some patients.

D002945 Cisplatin An inorganic and water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts with DNA to produce both intra and interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.
