- W2339331332 abstract "We performed a retrospective analysis on 45 patients who, between January 1989 and October 1993, received VAPEC-B chemotherapy for high and intermediate grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The aim was to assess response and tolerance to treatment. The weekly regimen consisted of: doxorubicin 35 mg/m2 i.v. weeks 1,3,5,7,9,11; cyclophosphamide 350 mg/m2 i.v. weeks 1, 5, 9; etoposide 100 mg/m2 p.o. daily for 5 days, weeks 3,7,11; vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 i.v. (2 mg max.) weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10; bleomycin 10 mg/m2 i.v. weeks 2, 6, 10; methotrexate 12.5 mg i.t. weeks 1, 5, 9; prednisolone 50 mg p.o. daily for 6 weeks, reduced to 25 mg daily for 6 weeks. The patients treated were aged 22–71 years, 34 (75%) had high grade (Working Formulation) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL); 11 (24%) had intermediate grade NHL; 25 had Stage III/IV disease; and 14 (31%) had marrow involvement. The majority of patients (76%) received VAPEC-B as first line chemotherapy; the remainder received it for relapsing disease. Follow-up time from completion of VAPEC-B chemotherapy ranged from 6 months to 50 months (median 25). VAPEC-B, as first line therapy, induced a complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in 79% and 18% respectively, whilst 3% had no response to treatment. VAPEC-B used for relapsing disease produced CR and PR in 64% and 27% respectively, whilst 9% failed to respond. Six patients in PR and five patients in CR have subsequently undergone an autologous bone marrow transplant or a peripheral blood stem cell transplant. In the group who received VAPEC-B first line but did not proceed to transplant (27 patients), five relapsed (three with CNS disease who had not had CNS prophylaxis). Tolerance to treatment was measured by WHO toxicity scores. The haemoglobin (Hb) toxicity median score for all patients was grade 1 (Hb 9.5–10.9 g/dl), and the white cell count (WCC), toxicity score was grade 2 (WCC 2.0–2.9 × 109/l). No platelet toxicity was observed. Ten per cent of patients suffered grade 3 severity infections requiring antibiotics and there was one treatment related death. The majority of patients received VAPEC-B on time, however, 24% patients had a 2-week delay.VAPEC-B chemotherapy is an effective regimen for malignant lymphoma, either as a first line or as a salvage treatment. Although chemotherapy was given weekly, the tolerance to treatment was acceptable, thus making this short regimen a good alternative to CHOP chemotherapy." @default.
