Abstract:
:Twenty-five adult patients with resistant or early relapsing Hodgkin's disease have been treated with CAV combination chemotherapy (CCNU, melphalan and etoposide). All patients had previously received both MOPP and ABVD regimens (23 patients as primary therapy and two as first salvage). High-energy radiotherapy had been administered in one case. The CAV chemotherapy was used as first salvage therapy in 15 cases (60%); the remaining patients had been heavily pretreated with different regimens including alkylating agents, vinblastine, and/or nitrosourea derivatives before CAV for multiple relapses or progressive disease. At the initiation of CAV chemotherapy, 64% of patients had extranodal disease (20% with more than one site), and bone marrow was involved in 16% of total cases. Thirty-two percent of CAV patients had progressed during primary therapy, while only 20% of cases had relapsed after complete remission (CR). The CR rate after CAV therapy was 17% (4 of 24); partial responses were observed in 33% of patients, giving an overall response rate of 50%. The response was influenced by the presence of nodal disease and by a prior response to chemotherapy. Considering the 15 patients who received CAV therapy as first salvage, the CR rate was 37%. The median survival from the initiation of CAV therapy was 23 months for the whole group of patients, and was not reached at 2 years for those who received CAV as first salvage therapy. Toxicity consisted of nausea (100% of cases), vomiting (63%), reversible alopecia (83%), mild to moderate leukopenia and thrombocytopenia (54% and 21%, respectively). No therapy-related deaths were observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
