Abstract
The regimen of hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and dexamethasone (hyper-CVAD) has demonstrated significant activity in adult lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) and in other hematologic malignancies, including Burkitt's disease, lymphoblastic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. This article presents the rationale for the development of this regimen, describes the program, summarizes the results of the large clinical trials developed at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, and discusses strategies to improve the results.Entities:
