Journal ArticleDOI

Combination Chemotherapy as an Adjuvant Treatment in Operable Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Long-term chemotherapy produced an acceptable toxicity, thus allowing the administration of a high percentage of drug dosage, and the effect of this therapy on survival and possible long-term side effects remain unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-dose chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation compared with MACOP-B in aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

TL;DR: High-dose sequential therapy is superior to standard-dose MACOP-B for patients with diffuse large-cell lymphoma of the B-cell type and overall survival at seven years is marginally significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term results of combined chemotherapy-radiotherapy approach in Hodgkin's disease: superiority of ABVD plus radiotherapy versus MOPP plus radiotherapy.

TL;DR: ABVD followed by extensive irradiation represents a valid therapeutic alternative to the widely used alkylating agent-containing regimens plus radiotherapy, and the comparative iatrogenic morbidity showed that irreversible gonadal dysfunction as well as acute leukemia occurred only in patients subjected to MOPP.
Journal ArticleDOI

The dissection of internal mammary nodes does not improve the survival of breast cancer patients. 30-year results of a randomised trial.

TL;DR: It is shown that the removal of internal mammary nodes does not improve the survival of patients treated for breast carcinoma after 30 years of follow-up, and this finding supports the theory that treatment of regional nodesdoes not influence the survivalof cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Second acute leukemia and other malignancies following treatment for Hodgkin's disease.

TL;DR: The incidence of second neoplasms can be markedly decreased by deleting from potentially curative therapy certain drugs such as alkylating agents, procarbazine, and nitrosourea derivatives.
