Abstract
SCAB chemotherapy streptozocin (streptozotocin) lomustine (CCNU), doxorubicin hydrochloride (Adriamycin), and bleomycin sulfate was given in monthly courses to 20 patients with Stages IIIB, IVA, and IVB previously untreated Hodgkin's disease. Complete remissions were obtained in 15 (75%) of these patients, and partial remissions in two others. Toxicity of this program was acceptable. Although this study was not a direct comparison with MOPP, SCAB would appear to be at least as effective as MOPP and offers a reasonable alternative program for the patient with advanced stage, previously untreated Hodgkin's disease.Entities:
