[Palliative chemotherapy of adult soft tissue sarcomas with an association of cyclophosphamide-vincristine-adriamycine-dacarbazine (CYVADIC) (author's transl)]. 1981

B Bui, and J Chauvergne, and M Durand, and R Brunet

From January 1976 to December 1979, 23 adults with advanced soft tissue sarcomas were treated with palliative chemotherapy associating cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and dacarbazine (CYVADIC) according to two different schema administered successively. A higher than 50 per cent rate of tumoral response was observed in 52 per cent of cases with 13 per cent complete remissions. Median survival was 14 months in patients who responded to treatment, and 4 months in non-responders (p less than 0,01). Side effects were severe however, and it was necessary to discontinue treatment in 5 patients, and modify dosage in 9 other patients. The CYVADIC protocol is effective but requires some modifications to improve tolerance.
