The efficacy and toxicity of VAD in the treatment of myeloma and related disorders.

T Sheehan, M Judge, A C Parker.   

Abstract

Impressive results have recently been reported in 29 cases of advanced refractory myeloma treated with 4-d infusions of Vincristine and Adriamycin (VAD). We report our own experience with this protocol in 13 cases of myeloma and related lymphoproliferative disorders. In 2 of these cases, VAD was used as first line treatment. Objective responses were seen in two-thirds of cases and the major complication of therapy was infection, predominantly bacterial in nature.
