Treatment of large cell lymphoma in elderly patients with a mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, and prednisone regimen: long-term follow-up results.

abstract：:Despite relatively high response rates to chemotherapy for ovarian carcinoma, most patients eventually will have progressive disease that will require additional therapy. Most efforts to study such second-line or "salvage" chemotherapy have been single-arm trials of small numbers of patients, which report widely varia...
