Abstract:
We have treated 11 patients with relapsed or resistant lymphoma with a combination of Etoposide, Prednisolone, Ifosfamide and Carboplatin (EPIC), obtaining complete responses in two patients and partial responses in four patients for an overall response rate of 54 per cent. The treatment was well tolerated with no toxic deaths and five patients were able to proceed to high dose therapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT).
